Characteristics and Applications for High-Purity Plastics

For a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications, high purity valves, fittings, spray devices, actuators and more are well regarded for their optimal performance in adverse conditions. While metal and brass components may function perfectly in certain conditions, there are various chemical exposure and manufacturing conditions that can cause them to degrade quickly over time. This can impact the longevity, efficiency, and functionality of the component significantly. By choosing parts and components designed for high-purity fluid transfer, you can avoid any of these potential issues from the start. Here are some of the top reasons people choose fluoropolymers for their high-purity application.

Temperature Resistance

Whether the temperatures of your given media can plummet to below-zero, or rise well-above 120 degrees, the structural integrity and function of high-purity valves and components will not be affected. Additionally, having such high temperature resistance can help eliminate the chance of any plastic leaching in and contaminated the highly pure media.

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance

Since many high-purity fluid transfer applications are dealing with highly volatile or corrosive chemicals, having built in resistance to corrosion and chemical damage is a must. Valves and components not properly fit to withstand chemical exposure or high levels of corrosion can be subject to structural degrading, along with a significantly shorter operational life.

Common Applications

Some of the most common industries that utilize high purity valves include semiconductor production, chemical processing, life sciences, and gasoline analytics. Each of these applications requires exceptionally high levels of purity, making high-purity fluoropolymers an affordable and dependable material choice, with a host of benefits to match.
