PROPERTIES
METALLIC MATERIALS
The range of metallic materials encom-passes a wide variety of very different types of material which are
distinguished mainly by their alloy composition, their structure and their manufacturing process.
This gives each material its characteristic properties and allows an optimal material to be selected to suit
the application.

PROPERTIES
PLASTICS
In pump engineering the non-metallic materials which are mainly used, are predominantly fluoropolymers
and polyolefins. The advantage of these materials is their high resistance to acids and alkalis at low to
medium temperatures. To resist external forces these pump types are usually protected by a metal casing.
POLYOLEFINS
MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION
FLUOROPOLYMERS
MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION
PVDF is distinguished by its excellent general corrosion resistance. Its high resistance to
stress cracks and its ability to resist UV. Its temperature range lies between -20 °C and
Polyvinylidene-
130° C. This material is particularly suitable for the pumping of hydrofluoric acid at all

concentrations up to boiling point, liquids containing halogens, nitric / hydrofluoric acid
pickling solutions, and for the evaporation of waste hydrochloric acid.
ETFE is a fluoropolymer that has proven itself as a lining material and largely covers the
Ethylenetetrafluoro-
applications like PFA. It can be used virtually universally in a temperature range from

-20 °C to 150 °C in aggressive and corrosive media.
Perfluoralkoxi PFA is a perfluorated alkyvinyl ether. Centrifugal pumps lined with PFA can be used up to
PFA 180 °C. With a few exceptions this material has a universal resistance to chemicals.
PTFE shows an outstandy resistance against nearly all organic and inorganic media over

PROPERTIES
CERAMICS
Pumps made of ceramic materials are particularly suitable for media which are highly abrasive and at the
same time corrosive, where pumps made from metallic materials and plastics may have a relatively short
operational life.
