This Chemtrol socket union is an injection molded Chem-Pure natural polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic fitting that features thermo-seal socket connections. Natural color Chem-Pure fittings are used with deionized water systems, clean chemical processes, pharmaceutical operations and food processing. This Chemtrol socket union is supplied with FKM fluorocarbon seal which is suited to most applications involving mineral acids, salt solutions, chlorinated hydrocarbons and petroleum oils. It is also available with EPDM ethylene propylene seal which has good abrasion and tear resistance, plus excellent chemical resistance, but not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils or most strong acids. Please refer to Chemtrol technical data sheets, chemical resistance guides and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Chemtrol Chem-Pure polypropylene exhibits extremely low content of metals, organic compounds, and free ions. No pigments or other adulterants (natural) are added to the plastic resin. Chem-Pure natural polypropylene demonstrates excellent chemical resistance properties, including aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis and salts, and a number of organic solvents. Chemtrol premium line of plastic fittings are backed by a 1-year limited warranty. Because Chemtrol is a NIBCO brand the flow-control fittings are unsurpassed in quality, performance and longevity.
