Engineered for maximum heat transfer rates, improving overall energy efficiency despite plastic construction.
Chemical Resistance:
Specially selected plastics provide outstanding durability against corrosive and aggressive media, extending the service life.
Pressure Capability:
Built to operate safely under high pressure loads, meeting demanding process conditions.
PE (Polyethylene)
PE is highly resistant to most acids and bases, offering flexibility and strength for a wide range of industrial uses. CALORPLAST utilizes PE-RT (raised temperature) for consistent operation in corrosive environments up to 176°F (80°C), and PE-HD (high density) for applications requiring greater strength with low weight.
PP (Polypropylene)
PP is valued for its excellent corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. Lightweight yet robust, polypropylene is a smart choice for a wide variety of heat transfer applications, especially where budget and durability are both important.
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF offers outstanding resistance to aggressive acids, maintaining high purity and strength even at elevated temperatures—up to 284°F (140°C). This makes it ideal for applications that demand the highest standards for chemical resistance and pressure stability. Note: PVDF is not recommended for alkaline media.
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane)
PFA stands out for its exceptional chemical resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. It’s especially suitable for extreme chemical environments, offering superior abrasion resistance and easy cleaning—ideal for challenging conditions in the chemical and research industries.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel ensures excellent temperature and corrosion resistance. CALORPLAST stainless steel bath heat exchangers are typically used in alkaline tanks and baths, such as for alkaline degreasing of components in electroplating and metal finishing processes.
