    Best polymer for corrosive fluid??

    Temperature is 20°C. I have some information: - Sulfate concentration: 5.000 mg/l - Sodium concentration: 18.000 mg/l - Chlorure concentration: 18.000 mg/l - Disolved solids: 65.000 mg/l - PH: 6,0 Hope it works. Felipe

    Best polymer against corrosive fluid and with low permeability?

    Hello, I have 2 interesting questios, I believe, regarding polymer properties. I am designing a ball (pretty much like a basketball in size and appearance) to be used inside pressure vessels for certain corrosive fluids. The ball is inflated with air to a certain pressure in order to cushion...

    Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for drinking water?

    Thank you for your answers. As I can see from them, not all the PUs are certifies for working with drinking water (my application is in pump systems). I have my production in China so I asked some people there to find out if their chinese suppliers of PU have certification, but maybe I should...

    Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for drinking water?

    I would like to know if any Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is suitable for drinking water. I believe there should be many kinds of TPU, in which case it would be interesting to know if all of them don´t have problems if in contact with potable water. Another thing would like to know if there...

    What particles does the Polybutadiene leave in the water?

    Thank you patprimmer, from what place the standard is, its not so relevant to me. BS 6920 seems to work just fine. Pud, your list has helped me a lot! That way I can directly ask any providers for all those polymer options. Thanks anyway tom1953!

    What particles does the Polybutadiene leave in the water?

    Thank you all for your replies. Tom1953, its been very helpful yur info. I see that NSF 61 section 6 might be what I am looking for: Section 6= Specific requirements for Joining and Sealing Materials/products such as o-rings, gaskets, lubricants, adhesives, elastomer materials, etc. The thing...

    What particles does the Polybutadiene leave in the water?

    I use an application in which balls made of polybutadiene are in contact with drinking water. I need to certify that the contact of the polybutadiene with the water does not affect the flavour and does not leave toxic components in it. So, first of all I need to identify what are the elements...

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    rb1957, if the balls work and I manage to prevent the air leaking in a good deal, there won´t be need for bladders anymore (too risky if they blow up). This is aimed at getting rid of them. So it is critical to avoid these leaking as much as possible.

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    IRStuff, sorry, "better" is very abstract. What I meant with "better" is a valve that makes it more difficult for the air to escape. I ll check on inner tubes, thanks! Unclesyd, the thanks for the sggestion but I would answer with the same previous message to "byrdj"

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    byrdj good suggestion but the fact that I introduce the balls is to exactly be the competition of the bladders. Yes, you can recallibrate the air withouth opening the tank (as long as by pressing the valve, water doesn´t come out) but if the bladder blows up you have no protection. The balls...

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    IRStuff, so inner tubes would be better than Schrader valves, by having one inside?

    Thanks HDS, will check. Better that the Schrader valve?

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    Yes, no problem with protuding valves as long as they are better than the usual ones, because at least in the usual ones the protusion can bu cut and a tire patch can be glued above it.

    What¦s the best possible air valve to be installed on a basketball?

    rb1957, because they are just ball manufacturers. We ask them for a special ball but they have no idea about water-hammer and don´t have the equipment to test them. As long as we can test them and then tell the fabric to innovate according to our results, that works. IRstuff, I see your point...
