This new piping system handles aggressive media
This company has added SYGEF ECTFE (photo) to its extensive line of engineered piping systems. The new SYGEF ECTFE product was designed specifically to convey highly aggressive media, such as concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, without corrosion, even under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Made of ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene, the SYGEF ECTFE system is said to offer excellent physical properties. The high-performance fluoropolymer material allows use in a broad temperature range from –105 to 284°F (–76 to 140°C), and with aggressive chemicals approved between 32 and 176°F. SYGEF ECTFE is available in pipe, valves and fittings from 1/2 to 4 in., and features quick assembly, long service life and lower initial costs than welded PFA (perfluoroalkoxy alkane) systems. Also when compared to PFA, SYGEF ECTFE has a 200% higher pressure range and 20% more efficiency in pipe volume, says the manufacturer. — GF Piping Systems, Irving, Calif.
