Chemical Resistance
Classification
Introduction
The following section tabulates the classes
of chemical resistance of thermoplastic
and elastomeric materials most commonly
used in pipe and fittings systems for the
conveyance of liquids and gases.
It is generally known that pipes and fittings
in thermoplastic material are widely used
in industries where conveyance of highly
corrosive liquids and gases requires highquality construction materials, featuring
excellent corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel, coated steel, glass and ceramic
materials can often be advantageously
replaced by thermoplastic materials, ensuring
safety, reliability and economic benefits under
similar operating conditions.

Important Information
The listed data are based on results of
immersion tests on specimens, in the
absence of any applied stress. In certain
circumstances, where the preliminary
classification indicates high or limited
resistance, it may be necessary to conduct
further tests to assess the behaviour of pipes
and fittings under internal pressure or other
stresses.
Variations in the analysis of the chemical
compounds as well as in the operating
conditions (pressure and temperature) can
significantly modify the actual chemical
resistance of the materials in comparison
with this charts indicated value.
It should be stressed that these ratings are
intended only as a guide to be used for initial

information on the material to be selected.

They may not cover the particular application
under consideration and the effects of
altered temperatures or concentrations
may need to be evaluated by testing under
specific conditions. No guarantee can be
given in respect of the listed data. Vinidex
reserves the right to make any modification
whatsoever, based upon further research
and experiences. Three different classes of
chemical resistance are conventionally used
in this guide.

Class 1: high resistance

(corrosion proof)
All materials belonging to this class are
completely or almost completely corrosion
proof against the conveyed fluid according to
the specified operating conditions.

Class 2: limited resistance

The materials belonging to this class are
partially attacked by the conveyed chemical
compound. The average life of the material is
therefore shorter, and it is advisable to use a
higher safety factor than the one adopted for
Class 1 materials.

Class 3: no resistance
All material belonging to this class are
subject to corrosion by the conveyed fluid
and they should therefore not be used.
The absence of any class indication means
that no data is available concerning the
chemical resistance of the material in respect
of the conveyed fluid.

Chemical Resistance Guide

Chemical Attack on
Thermoplastics &
Elastomers
Chemicals that attack polymers do so at
differing rates and in differing ways. There
are two general types of chemical attack on
polymer:
1 Swelling of the polymer occurs but the
polymer returns to its original condition
if the chemical is removed. However,
if the polymer has a compounding
ingredient that is soluble in the chemical,
the properties of the polymer may be
changed because of the removal of this
ingredient and the chemical itself will be
contaminated.
2 The base resin or polymer molecules
are changed by crosslinking, oxidation,
substitution reactions or chain scission.
In these situations the polymer cannot
be restored by the removal of the
chemical. Examples of this type of
attack on PVC are aqua regia at 20OC
and wet chlorine gas.

Factors Affecting
Chemical Resistance
A number of factors can affect the rate and
type of chemical attack that may occur.
These are:
Concentration
In general, the rate of attack increases with
concentration, but in many cases there are
threshold levels below which no significant
chemical effect will be noted.
Temperature
As with all processes, rate of attack increases
as temperature rises. Again, threshold
temperatures may exist.
Period of contact In many cases rates of
attack are slow and of significance only with
sustained contact.
Stress
Some polymers under stress can
undergo higher rates of attack. In
general PVC is considered relatively
insensitive to stress corrosion.

Chemical Resistance
of Polyethylene

General Effect of
Chemicals on PVC Pipe

The outstanding resistance of Vinidex

polyethylene systems to a variety of chemical
reagents, allows their use in a wide range of
chemical processes.

Resistant
PVC is resistant to many alcohols, fats, oils
and aromatic free petrol. Also most common
corroding agents including inorganic acids,
alkalis and salts.
Non-resistant
PVC should not be used with esters,
ketones, ethers and aromatic or
chlorinated hydrocarbons. PVC will
absorb these substances and this will
lead to swelling and a reduction in tensile
strength.

Considerations for PVC Pipe

Water supply
For normal water supply work, PVC pipes
are totally unaffected by soil and water
chemicals. The question of chemical
resistance is likely to arise only if they are
used in unusual environments or if they are
used to convey chemical substances. The
following data gives guidance in this context.
Although OPVC is chemically identical to
standard PVC, rates of attack may vary and
this material is not recommended for use
in chemical environments or for chemical
conveyance.
Sewage
PVC will not be affected by anything that
can be normally found in sewerage effluent.
However, if some illegal discharge is made
then most chemicals are more likely to attack
the rubber ring (common to all modern
pipe systems) than the PVC pipe. Because
of modern pollution controls on sewage
discharges, PVC can be safely used in any
municipal sewerage network including areas
accepting industrial effluent.

Chemical resistance of polyethylene is due

to the non polar or paraffinic nature of
the material and is a function of reagent
concentration and temperature. Some attack
may occur under specific conditions however,
use of Vinidex polyethylene systems provides
a cost effective solution when the behaviour
of polyethylene is compared to that of
alternative materials.
Where rubber modified LDPE blends
are used for improved ESCR properties
in irrigation applications, the effect of
speciality chemicals may require evaluation
eg. micro-irrigation tube/dripper tube.

General Effect of Chemicals

on Polyethylene Pipe
Resistant
Water, solutions of inorganic salts, weak
acids, strong organic acids, strong alkaline
solutions, aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Has adequate resistance
Strong acids, hydrofluoric acids, fats and oils.
Has limited resistance
Lower alcohols, esters, ketones, ethers,
aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral oil.
In most cases non-resistant
Light naphtha, fuel mixture.
Completely non-resistant
Unsaturated chlorinated hydrocarbons,
turpentine.

Food conveyance
For applications characterised as food
conveyance or storage, health regulations
should be observed. Specific advice should
be obtained on the use of PVC pipes.

Introduction

Chemical Resistance
of Joints
Solvent Cement Joints (PVC)

Threaded Joints (PVC)

For a satisfactory jointing of PVC pipes

and fittings Vinidex recommends Vinidex
premium solvent cements and priming fluid
produced in accordance with AS3879 (1995)
solvent cements and priming fluid for use with
unplasticized PVC (uPVC) pipes and fittings.

For fittings with threaded connection ends

only PTFE tape must be used for sealing.
The assembled joint has the same chemical
resistance as PVC.

If the correct jointing procedure is followed

the resulting assembly of pieces has the same
chemical resistance (everywhere, including
jointing section) of the single items alone.

Fusion joints include those made by butt

fusion, electrofusion and socket fusion and
these types will have the same chemical
resistance as listed for PE.

Exceptions occur for following solutions:

Media
Concentrations %
Sulphuric acid
70
Hydrochloric acid
25
Nitric acid
20
Hydrofluoric acid
all

Rubber Ring Joints (Elastomers)

In these cases if single components are

classified Class 1 (high resistance) the
complete assembly drops down to class
2 (limited resistance).
If necessary, contact the Vinidex technical
department for advice concerning alternative
jointing products. Please be aware that for
correct solvent cement jointing, instructions
on Vinidex technical literature have to be
followed.

Fusion Joints (PE)

Chemical resistance of Rubber Ring Joints

may be assessed by reference to the
accompanying table, General Guide for
Chemical Resistance of Various Elastomers,
as well as the pipe material guide.

Other Fittings
PVC and PE pipe systems often employ
fittings and accessories manufactured from
materials dissimilar to the pipe material, such
as brass, aluminium, iron and polypropylene.
In such cases, the designer should refer to
the appropriate manufacturer for advice on
the chemical resistance of these materials.
