Fuseal® PP is resistant to the corrosive action of alkalis, alcohols, acids, solvents and salt solutions. Dilute mineral acids and aqueous solutions of acid salts, which are so destructive to most metals, have no affect on the Fuseal PP system. In general, Fuseal PP is attacked only by strong oxidizing acids and weakened by certain organic solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Fuseal PP will not rust, pit, scale, corrode or be affected by electrolysis.
Fuseal PP piping systems have excellent chemical resistance and physical properties which make the system ideal for handling corrosive waste mixtures of acids, bases and solvents present in laboratory, industrial or food and beverage processing DWV applications.
