Polypropylene provides excellent resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack. It has a lower impact strength, but its working temperatures and tensile strength are superior to low or high density polyethylene. It is light in weight, resistant to staining, and has a low moisture absorption rate. This is a tough, heat-resistant, semi-rigid material, ideal for the transfer of hot liquids or gases. It is recommended for vacuum systems and where higher heats and pressures are encountered. It has excellent resistance to acids and alkalines, but poor resistance to aromatic, aliphatic and chlorinated solvents.

Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) is a thermoplastic pipe and fitting material made with CPVC compounds meeting the requirements of ASTM Class 23447 as defined in ASTM Specification D1784. CPVC applications are for potable water distribution, corrosive fluid handling in industry, and fire suppression systems. 

PVDF exhibits excellent toughness and mechanical properties at room temperature compared to PTFE, FEP or PFA. It is popular as a piping material in the semiconductor industry, where high purity (non-leaching) is required. PVDF is also used as a corrosion resistant liner and as a material for tank construction. Both PFA and PVDF (and to an increasing extent MFA) compete for similar uses in this industry. The chemical resistance of PVDF is limited relative to PTFE, FEP, PFA or MFA. The concentration and temperature of use with a specific chemical must be verified prior to use of PVDF.
