Compatibility

Materials of Construction This product is compatible with most non-metallic materials of construction such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic (vinyl ester or polyester FRP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), high density polyethylene, polypropylene, Viton®, Teflon®, natural rubber, chlorobutyl rubber, Hypalon®, HALAR® ECTFE, Tefzel® ETFE, and most high-performance PTFE-based gasket materials such as W.L. Gore GORE-TEX® GR, W.L. Gore UPG Style 800, and Garlock Gylon® Styles 3504 and 3500.

Titanium and high-nickel alloys such as Inconel® 625 & 686, and Hastelloy® C-22 & C-276 also are suitable materials of construction.

Incompatible Materials of Construction The compatibility of this product with common metals depends on the storage conditions and the environment that the material is in. Aluminum, brass, carbon, steel, copper, stainless steel and other common metals generally are not suitable for use. Carbon steel and copper can result in discoloration of the product. Aluminum suffers pitting attack. Dissolved oxygen increases the corrosion rate of stainless steel. Recommended Materials of Construction for Storage Tanks Vinyl Ester FRP such as Ashland Derakane® 411 or 470 is suitable for use, as is bisphenol A fumarate polyester FRP such as Reichhold Atlac® 6694. Recommended Materials of Construction for Piping and Valves For piping, an adhesive socket FRP system such as Reinforced Plastics Systems P150 series or Smith Fibercast® CL-2030 series is suitable. A flat-faced FRP ball valve such as the Nil-Cor® 310 series is a good choice for FRP piping. PP-lined steel also is suitable. For low-pressure lines (5 psig) such as overflows and drain lines, solid PVC or CPVC piping can be used, but should be safeguarded from mechanical damage.
