INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for Fluid Handling

Pumps, valves, manifolds and seals ask a lot of a material: chemical resistance, dimensional stability, low friction, and zero corrosion. Engineering plastics deliver all four. We stock the fluid-handling grades and machine seals, seats, manifolds and wear components to your drawings.

Common Fluid Handling Applications

  • Clinical and diagnostic — sampling, reagent transfer, dialysis, blood processing, washing
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Food processing and dispensing equipment
  • Chemical process industry
  • Semiconductor fabrication
  • Ultra high purity fluid storage, transport, monitoring, control
  • High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) components
  • Line tanks and transport vessels
  • Manifolds, fittings, valves
  • Municipal water and wastewater treatment
  • Potable water treatment
  • Pumps, valves
  • Wafer carriers
  • Industrial wastewater treatment
  • Heat exchangers

Why Plastics Win

  • Low coefficient of friction
  • High flexibility
  • Outstanding temperature stability
  • Chemical resistant
  • Low gas and vapor permeability
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Smooth inner walls for a fluid flow path with no dead spots or crevices
  • Meets high purity and high hygiene requirements
  • Can be cleaned and sterilized using clean-in-place (CIP) or sanitize-in-place (SIP) methods
  • Nonreactive with a wide variety of chemicals
  • Does not contain impurities that can leach into the fluid stream
  • Will not absorb contaminants
  • Wide variety of pressure ratings
  • Clarity — ability to monitor flow
