I have to design a bracket that will insulate copper pipes. I need a material, resin that will be chemical resistant to Crude oil. The copper pipe will be energized with 7 watts. I understand Crude oil is very acidic, and was curious if PEX, XLPE, and PP are good selections, and which one would be the best for my application. Thanks
 
Hi. I don't know your mechanical or thermal requirements, but you can't go wrong with 3M's Scotchkote series. These epoxy-based coatings are impressive. I've used them, myself, both for electrical insulation and protection from corrosion. Best wishes.
