Polyvinyl chloride resins have exceptional resistance to such chemicals as: acids, alkalies, and alcohols. They are non-oxidizing, self-extinguishing, and insoluble in most chemicals. Max. tensile strength: 9,000 PSI., resistance to heat: 120-160 deg F.
 

Chlorinating PVC results in a polymer that has all of PVC's good qualities, plus improved fire retardance, weatherability, a higher maximum working temp of 200 F and light-fastness. Melting point is 395 F and tensile strength of 8000 PSI.
 

Polypropylene has good impact resistance and structural rigidity. It is unaffected by any solvent at room temperatures. It has excellent insulating properties and is extremely lightweight. Tensile strength - 4000 PSI, maximum service temp - 212 F, Melting point - 340 F.
 

Isoplast (Fiberglass) urethane resins are high tensile strength, chemically resistant resins originally developed for medical use. They are available in long glass fiber-filled grades. Isoplast combines the toughness and dimensional stability of amorphous resins with the chemical resistance of crystalline materials. The long fibre reinforced grades are strong enough to replace some metals in load bearing applications. 40% long glass filled grade has tensile strengths up to 27,000 Psi. Max Service temperature is 150 deg F. Melting point is 336 deg F. Gray in color, but also available in Natural (Off white).
 

18-8SS, which is a Type 300 series Stainless Steel, is one of the most widely used corrosion resistant metals for threaded and non-threaded fasteners. Uses include many marine, electrical and food industry applications. It has fair machinability and cold forming properties. Max. tensile strength: 150,000 PSI.
 

DIN 931 and DIN 933 metric specifications. A2 (18-8SS), which is a Type 300 series Stainless Steel, is one of the most widely used corrosion resistant metals for threaded and non-threaded fasteners. Uses include many marine, electrical and food industry applications. It has fair machinability and cold forming properties. Max. tensile strength: 150,000 PSI.
 

Generally made from commercially pure, Grade 2 Titanium. It has high-strength to weight ratio and bridges the design gap between aluminum and steel and offers a combination of the most desirable properties of both. Ultimate tensile strength: 50,000 PSI., resistance to heat: 800 deg F continuous.
 

A light metal; one third the weight of mild steel with good electrical conductivity, non-magnetic and will not spark. This metal is completely compatible with many chemicals and is safely used in many food containers. These alloys are widely used in the plating and aviation industry today. Aluminum accepts paint readily and is frequently anodized to improve resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Max. tensile strength - Alloy 2024-T4: 60,000 PSI, Alloy 6061-T6: 42,000 PSI.
 

Nickel-Copper 400, Alloy K-500 and Inconel 600 are high nickel alloys with distinguishing characteristics of strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. Nickel-Copper 400 has a wide use in chemical, mechanical and electrical equipment, marine and building construction and for appearance uses. Nickel-Copperl K-500 finds use in many marine applications, where high strength is required. Max. tensile strength: 125,000 PSI.
 

The most common alloy of copper, brass is two-thirds copper, one-third zinc. It is non-magnetic with good strength and toughness, high electrical conductivity, and an attractive lustrous finish. It has good corrosion resistance but not in salt water. Brass is commonly used by the electrical and communications industries, builder’s hardware, and some marine applications. Tensile strength: 55,000-65,000 PSI.
 

Silicon Bronze is an alloy made of 95% to 98% copper plus a small amount of silicon added for strength. Small amounts of manganese and aluminum may also be added for strength, and lead may be added for machineability. Silicon bronze is non-magnetic with a high degree of thermal conductivity and high corrosion resistance against sea water, gases, and sewage. It is often used by the utilities industry for pole line hardware and switchgear equipment, mine sweeping, sewage disposal equipment, food machinery, marine applications, plumbing and liquid handling. Surprisingly, silicon bronze is only a low to moderate conductor of electricity, though it is a better conductor than stainless.
 

Although there are several variations of the Hastelloy® nickel alloy, Hastelloy® C-276 is by far the most widely used. Hastelloy® C-276 remains resilient in the most corrosive environments such as in chemical processing, pollution control, pulp and paper production, waste treatment and the recovery of "sour" natural gas. A nickel-molybdenum-chromium wrought alloy with low carbon content, Hastelloy® exhibits excellent resistance in a wide variety of chemical process environments including those with as ferric and cupric chlorides, hot contaminated organic and inorganic media, chlorine, formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride, and seawater and brine solutions.
