Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, the reliability and durability of components depend on the use of materials capable of ensuring outstanding chemical resistance, physical integrity and high mechanical performance.
In demanding operational environments, exposed to corrosive agents, high pressures and thermal fluctuations, reinforced thermoplastic composites provide a valuable alternative to metals, combining dimensional stability, durability and operational safety.
Xenia has developed a range of materials specifically engineered to meet the requirements of the chemical sector.
This portfolio delivers excellent mechanical performance while integrating controlled electrical properties for optimal electrostatic discharge (ESD) management, enhancing both chemical resistance and long-term durability.
Formulated to comply with ATEX (EXplosive Atmospheres) regulations, Xenia’s materials represent an innovative solution that combines high performance, protection in chemically aggressive environments, and consistent long-term performance.
TENSILE MODULUS
The significant increase in stiffness compared to the respective non-reinforced polymers underscores the structural role of carbon fibre, which enhances the overall mechanical performance of the composite.
As shown in the graphic, the differences in modulus among the three materials reflect the fibre–matrix interaction and the intrinsic characteristics of each polymer: HDPE offers a good balance between stiffness and processability, PP combines reinforcement efficiency with thermal stability, while PVDF delivers the highest modulus values, combining reinforcement with chemical inertness and dimensional stability.
TENSILE MODULUS (MPa)
HDPE + 20% CF
PP + 20% CF
PVDF + 20% CF
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART
In chemical process and fluid handling applications, selecting the appropriate thermoplastic matrix is crucial to ensure durability, operational safety and minimize maintenance.
The table below outlines the chemical compatibility of HDPE, PP, and PVDF with a range of substances commonly encountered in chemical processing environments.
These comparative data provide a valuable reference for material selection and component design in aggressive operating conditions, acknowledging that actual performance may vary according to concentration, temperature and exposure duration.
