Online tool offers overview of chemical resistance of systems Plastic pipes are used not only for drinking water, water for general use and wastewater, but also for transporting chemically aggressive liquids and gases. Questions regarding the chemical resistance of piping materials to media are as important as the mechanical parameters for the installation of the piping system. Pipe designs such as lined metal, ceramic or glass fibre reinforced pipes can in many cases be replaced by plastic systems.

The ChemRes Plus online tool from GF Piping Systems gathers data about materials and 276 media and visualises them. Users can select between all materials and cements from the GF Piping Systems product range and compare to get a comprehensive overview. GF Piping Systems attempts to present resistance statements in order to identify the best suitable material for the application. The recommendations given in the ChemRes Plus database are not only based on the extensive application experience of GF, but also originate from tests in the company’s own laboratories. The data is subject to frequent updating and addition.
