Plastichem Limited products

Plastichem offers a complete and comprehensive range of fluoropolymer PTFE and PFA lined pipe and fittings. The Fluoropolymer materials we use for lining provide almost universal chemical resistance up to 200 Degrees Centigrade. These materials also provide a non stick surface useful for conveying sticky materials and powder transmission to limit blockages and promote flow.

Plastichem supplies, fabricates and installs a full range of industrial plastic pressure pipe materials including Polypropylene, Polyethylene and PVDF. These systems are fabricated using socket fusion, conventional butt fusion and infra red but fusion jointing methods depending on the application.

GRP or FRP pipework is manufactured in accordance with BS 7159, with structural, chemical and thermal properties being dictated by the type of resin selected by Plastichem specialists. GRE pipe systems with filiament wound construction provide higher mechanical strength with lower cost. The most common resin type specified is a Vinylester Epoxy which has excellent chemical resistance to a broad range of chemicals.

This system combines the chemical resistance of the thermoplastic or fluoropolymer lining with the strength of the GRP reinforcement. The resulting systems are a cost effective alternative to rubber lined steel or exotic alloys.
