CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE
Chemical Resistance Guide
For Pipe, Valves & Fittings
1
This chemical resistance guide has been compiled to assist the piping system designer in selecting chemical
resistant materials. The information given is intended as a guide only. Many conditions can affect the material
choices. Careful consideration must be given to temperature, pressure and chemical concentrations before a
final material can be selected. Thermoplastics and elastomers physical characteristics are more sensitive to
temperature than metals. For this reason, a rating chart has been developed for each.
MATERIAL RATING FOR THERMOPLASTICS & ELASTOMERS
2
MATERIAL RATINGS FOR METALS

• Temp. in °F = “A” rating, maximum temperature which material is recommended, resistant under normal
conditions.
• B to Temp. in °F = Conditional resistance, consult factory.
• C = Not recommended.
• Blank = No data available.
• A = Recommended, resistant under normal conditions.
• B = Conditional, consult factory.
• C = Not recommended.
• Blank = No data available.
Temperature maximums for thermoplastics, elastomers and metals should always fall within published temp/
pressure ratings for individual valves. THERMOPLASTICS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR COMPRESSED AIR OR
GAS SERVICE. This guide considers the resistance of the total valve assembly as well as the resistance of
individual trim and fitting materials. The rating assigned to the valve body plus trim combinations is always that
of the least resistant part. In the cases where the valve body is the least resistant, there may be conditions under
which the rate of corrosion is slow enough and the mass of the body large enough to be usable for a period of
time. Such use should always be determined by test before installation of the component in a piping system. In
the selection of a butterfly valve for use with a particular chemical, the liner, disc, and stem must be resistant. All
three materials should carry a rating of “A”. The body of a properly functioning butterfly valve is isolated from the
chemicals being handled and need not carry the same rating.
ABS — (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) Class 4-2-2
conforming to ASTM D1788 is a time proven material.
The smooth inner surface and superior resistance to
deposit formation makes ABS drain, waste, and vent
material ideal for residential and commercial sanitary
systems. The residential DWV system can be exposed
in service to a wide temperature span. ABS-DWV has
proven satisfactory for use from -40°F to 180°F These
temperature variations can occur due to ambient
temperature or the discharge of hot liquids into the
system. ABS-DWV is very resistant to a wide variety
of materials ranging from sewage to commercial
household chemical formulations. ABS-DWV is joined
by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be
connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use
of transition fittings.
CPVC — (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) Class 23447B, formerly designated Type IV, Grade 1 conforming to
ASTM D-1784 has physical properties at 73°F similar to
those of PVC, and its chemical resistance is similar to or
generally better than that of PVC. CPVC, with a design
stress of 2000 psi and maximum service temperature
of 210°F, has proven to be an excellent material for
hot corrosive liquids, hot and cold water distribution,
and similar applications above the temperature range
of PVC. CPVC is joined by solvent cementing, threading
or flanging.
P.P. (Polypropylene) — (PP) Type 1 Polypropylene is
a polyolefin which is lightweight and generally high in
chemical resistance. Although Type 1 polypropylene
www.fabcoplastics.com
conforming to ASTM D-2146 is slightly lower in physical
properties compared to PVC, it is chemically resistant to
organic solvents as well as acids and alkalies. Generally,
polypropylene should not be used in contact with
strong oxidizing acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and
aromatics. With a design stress of 1000 psi at 73°F,
polypropylene has gained wide acceptance where its
resistance to sulfur-bearing compounds is particularly
useful in salt water disposal lines, crude oil piping, and
low pressure gas gathering systems. Polypropylene has
also proved to be an excellent material for laboratory
and industrial drainage where mixtures of acids, bases,
and solvents are involved. Polypropylene is joined by
the thermo-seal fusion process, threading or flanging.
At 180°F., or when threaded, P.P. should be used for
drainage only at a pressure not exceeding 20 psi.
PVC — (Polyvinyl Chloride) Class 12454-B, formerly
designated Type 1, Grade 1. PVC is the most frequently
specified of all thermoplastic materials. It has been used
successfully for over 30 years in such areas as chemical
processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution,
deionized water lines, chemical drainage, and irrigation
systems.
PVC is characterized by high physical
properties and resistance to corrosion and chemical
attack by acids, alkalies, salt solutions, and many other
chemicals. It is attacked, however, by polar solvents
such as ketones, some chlorinated hydrocarbons and
aromatics. The maximum service temperature of PVC
is 140°F. With a design stress of 2000 psi, PVC has the
highest long term hydrostatic strength at 73°F of any of
