Material Characteristics

General Information

Fuseal® is a polypropylene corrosive waste piping system. Fuseal provides excellent chemical and physical properties, making it the ideal system for handling corrosive chemical waste solutions present in laboratory and industrial DWV

(Drain, Waste and Vent) applications. Fuseal is suitable for use in chemical and industrial plants, as well as in hospital and university laboratories where mixtures of acids, bases and solvents are conveyed. It is also used in the beverage and food processing industries where standard cast iron or other metallic materials fail to stand up to the corrosive nature of certain waste streams.

Fuseal 25/50™ is a PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) corrosive waste piping system ideally suited for handling corrosive chemical waste solutions where a non-combustible material is required or where the temperature of the waste stream exceeds the temperature rating of polypropylene. For construction in areas designated as “return air plenums,” Fuseal

25/50 exceeds the flame spread index 0–25 and a smoke development index 0–50 (25/50 rating) when tested in accordance with UL723 (ASTM E84). It also exceeds the requirements of NFPA 255 and model building codes published by ICC(1) and

IAPMO(2) for use in return air plenum applications.

Fuseal® PP Corrosive Waste

All Fuseal products are manufactured of polypropylene, a material that is known to have wide acceptance as a superior thermoplastic material for handling harsh, corrosive fluids.

The Fuseal corrosive waste piping system for above-ground installation is manufactured from a flame retardant (PPFR) polypropylene compound that provides limited flame spread, while yielding a combination of high chemical resistance, toughness and high strength at elevated temperatures. Fuseal’s excellent chemical and physical properties make the system ideal for use in chemical and industrial plants, hospital and university laboratories and food/beverage processing facilities. Most major pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and the top universities worldwide have Fuseal installations currently installed. Contact GF for a reference list.

Fuseal LD is the large diameter Fuseal piping system available in 8”, 10” and 12” sizes. It utilizes original electrofusion process from Georg Fischer with the addition of an easy connect duplex plug. It is manufactured in both flame retardant

(PPFR) and non-flame retardant (PPNFR) polypropylene and meets all the basic system benefits of Fuseal.

Fuseal MJ is the mechanical joint Fuseal system. It is available in sizes 1½”–4”. This system is manufactured of the same flame retardant (PPFR) material as our Fuseal system.

Advantages

• Fuseal fittings utilize a fusion collar with integrated duplex plug on all fitting sockets 1½”–6”. The collar is fully rotatable (360°) to allow for positioning of plug where it can be easily accessed by the installer.

• Plastic clamps are factory installed on 1½”–4” collars, loose metal clamps for 6”–12” allow for dry-fitting of entire sections prior to fusing.

• All Fuseal and Fuseal LD fittings utilize socket type connections, removing the need for additional labor and material costs associated with the use of secondary couplings as with similar systems in the market today.

• Faster set up and fusion times than most competitive products.

• Installation of Fuseal MJ fittings does not require the installer to groove pipe ends as with competitive systems.

• Fuseal may be installed within a pressure corrosive waste system (50 PSI max @ 72°F).

Fuseal 25/50™ PVDF Corrosive Waste

The Fuseal 25/50 Corrosive Waste Piping System is made from Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF). PVDF is a material with superior chemical resistance capabilities at elevated temperatures (up to 280°F [137°C] intermittently). A special grade of

PVDF, as available from Georg Fischer, is the only thermoplastic material that when tested in accordance to UL723/ASTM

E84 (25/50) has a flame spread index of less than 25 and smoke generation index less than 50, respectively, making Fuseal

25/50 a cost-effective solution for return air plenum applications.

PVDF exhibits excellent impact resistance and maintains its strength characteristics over a wide range of temperatures.

Advantages

• Pipe and fittings are joined via fusion coils with duplex plug. Metal clamps allow for dry-fitting of entire sections prior to fusing.

• Faster set up and fusion times than most competitive products.

• All Fuseal 25/50 PVDF fittings utilize socket type connections, removing the need for additional labor and material costs associated with the use of secondary couplings as with similar systems in the market today.

• Transitions easily to our standard Fuseal PP (Polypropylene) system, enhancing versatility.

• Fuseal 25/50 may be installed in a pressure corrosive waste system (50 PSI max @ 72°F).

Mechanical Properties

Polypropylene (Fuseal, Fuseal LD, Fuseal MJ) has a high tensile strength and stiffness, preventing excessive sag and allowing for greater distance between supports is possible. Polypropylene has a very good long-term creep strength at higher temperatures, for example, 180°F (82°C) at continuous stress.

PVDF (Fuseal 25/50) has a high tensile strength and stiffness. The impact strength is excellent over a wide range of temperatures, even to 32°F (0°C). PVDF’s advantages are particularly prevalent at higher temperatures. This is due to the high fluorine content which causes strong interactions between the PVDF chains. This, in turn, prevents softening and the loss of properties to higher temperatures. This also has an effect on the long-term creep strength.

Chemical, Weathering and Abrasion Resistance

Polypropylene (Fuseal, Fuseal LD, Fuseal MJ) is resistant to the corrosive action of alkalis, alcohols, acids, solvents and salt solutions. Dilute mineral acids and aqueous solutions of acid salts, which are destructive to most metals, have no affect on the polypropylene piping systems. In general, polypropylene is attacked only by strong oxidizing acids and weakened by certain organic solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Polypropylene will not rust, pit, scale, corrode or be affected by electrolysis.

When installed above ground, the pigmentation protects Fuseal PP from sunlight. The pigmentation is highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation and is heat-stabilized to provide long life while handling hot reagents.

PVDF (Fuseal 25/50) is resistant to most inorganic solvents and additionally to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, organic acids, alcohol and halogenated solvents. PVDF is also not attacked by dry and moist halogens with the exception of fluorine. PVDF is not resistant to strong basic amines, alkalis, and alkaline metals.

Outstanding resistance to UV light and gamma radiation permits the use of PVDF piping outdoors without the need for UV stabilizers. Abrasion resistance is considerable and approximately comparable to that of polyamide.

Thermal Properties

The Fuseal polypropylene compound yields a combination of high chemical resistance, toughness and high strength at elevated temperatures.

The thermal conductivity of PP is 1.2 BTU-in/ft2/hr/°F. In certain applications PP’s inherent thermal insulating properties will act as an insulator and prevent the formation of condensation on the external surface of the pipe. In these instances, there are notably more economical advantages when compared to a system made of metals such as stainless steel and copper.

The Fuseal, Fuseal LD, Fuseal MJ polypropylene piping systems handle corrosive drainage fluids up to 212°F (100°C) intermittently.

Copper 2700.0

The Fuseal 25/50 PVDF piping system has excellent thermal stability. Prolonged exposure to 280°F (137°C) does not lead to loss of strength. No oxidative or thermal degradation has been detected during the continuous exposure of PVDF resin at 302°F (150°C) for a period of 5 years. Therefore, operating conditions of 280°F (137°C) or below are well within the functional range of the system. Fuseal 25/50 PVDF is the only plastic piping material that meets the strict requirements of recent building and plumbing fire codes. PVDF is UL94 Listed (V-O) and is considered a non-combustible material.

Electrical Properties

Since polypropylene is a non-polar hydrocarbon polymer, it is an outstanding electrical insulator. The insulative properties, however, can be compromised considerably from the effects of oxidizing media or weathering as a result of pollution.

Because of the possibility of electrostatic charges, Fuseal 25/50 PVDF is not recommended in applications where flammable liquids, combustion, or explosion is present.

Reliable Fusion Joining

Electrofusion is defined as the joining process where two plastic parts are fused utilizing electrical heat resistance to form a permanent joint.

For Fuseal 1½”–6” fittings, a plastic-coated copper wire is wound into a coil and then formed into a polypropylene fusion collar with duplex plug connector. The finished fusion collar is then placed on the fitting sockets at the factory.

For Fuseal LD and Fuseal PVDF 25/50, a plastic-coated copper wire is wound into a coil with a duplex plug receptacle con-nection attached. The finished coil is then inserted into the fitting socket at the factory.

When setup for installation is completed at the project site, an electric current is applied to the coil via our Electro Plus® fusion machine, producing heat that generates sufficient temperatures to melt the surrounding plastic and create a “melt zone.”

Fusion occurs when the joint cools below the melt temperature of the plastic material, leaving a permanent joint that is proven to be as strong as, if not stronger than, the individual components.

Advantages

• Fast, positive electrical connection with a clear duplex plug

• Simple insertion of pipe without coil removal

• Integral plastic clamps are provided on all fusion collars 1½” to 4”

• Rotation of fusion collar allows exact positioning of the duplex plug for easy access by the installer

• Ability to dry fit an entire system prior to fusion

Electrofusion Joining

Electrofusion joining is an excellent joining solution that provides numerous advantages. The process of joining pipe to a fitting socket uses wires to transfer the heat energy to the plastic material. The heat energy is sufficient to melt the plastic surrounding the wires. This generates a zone called the “melt zone.” This “melt zone” encapsulates the wires, which are at its origin along the center line.

These features make this one of the safest and easiest fusion technologies on the market.

Advantages

• Faster fusion times than most competitive systems

• Fuse multiple joints in one heat cycle

• Electro Plus® fusion machine designed to allow for automatic adjustment of fusion cycle times based on environ-mental temperature levels through ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation)

• Electro Plus® fusion machine designed for automatic adjustment of fusion cycle times or automatic shutdown of fusion cycle based on power source fluctuations.

• Parallel wiring connections to fusion collars allow for quicker more secure duplex plug connection than the series wiring configuration required by all competitive systems

Mechanical Joining

Mechanical joining makes fast, leakproof joints in two easy steps. Slide the nut, grab ring, and “O” ring on the pipe. Insert the pipe into the socket and tighten ½ turn past hand tight. That’s it!

As the nut is tightened, the grab ring grips and cuts a retaining groove in the pipe. Further tightening seals the “O” ring to ensure a leakproof joint.

This simple method of joining cuts installation time in half and requires no hot water, electricity, or pipe grooving.

Fuseal Squared®

Double Containment Corrosive Waste Piping System

GF Piping Systems This will be used where required per drawings.

Specifically Note 8 on Sheet P-101

Overview Fuseal Squared double containment piping is an ideal choice for corrosive waste disposal systems where secondary containment is required or desired. It offers the same performance and reliability our customers have come to expect from the Fuseal drainage system.

Depending on the application, Fuseal Squared is available in non- and flame-retardant versions (PPNFR and PPFR). The pipe’s standard wall thickness makes it ideal for buried applications, where the non-flame retardant type may also be suitable.

Fuseal Squared is easy to install. The system is precision manufactured and GF’s state-of-the-art Electro Plus electrofusion machine makes the process of fusing joints straightforward. Should it be required, GF can quickly design and produce custom fittings and sizes in our in-house custom fabrication department.

After installation, the primary pipe is tested hydrostatically, while the containment pipe is tested with air.

Fuseal Squared is truly a complete acid waste drainage system!

Electrofusion joining method Electrofusion is the joining process where two plastic parts are fused, using electrical heat resistance, to form a permanent joint.

The electrofusion joint consists of a coupling or fitting with a coated copper wire coil inside.

The pipe is inserted into the fitting socket and an electric current is applied to the coil, producing heat that generates sufficient temperatures to melt the surrounding plastic and create a “melt zone.”

Fusion occurs when the joint cools below the melt temperature of the plastic material, leaving a permanent joint that is proven to be as strong as, if not stronger than, the individual components.

Electro Plus® fusion machine benefits

• Intuitive user interface

• Multiple joint capability for speedy installations

• Integral carrying case for ease of transportation

• Network and generator compatible for simple operation

• Self-diagnostic system takes the guesswork out of error detection

• Fusion cycle times automatically adjusted based on air temperature (ATC)

• One-button repeat fusion cycle for same size joints

Fuseal Squared® benefits

• Free floating primary pipe for easy joint fit-up and field flexibility

• Strength: fittings are factory-constructed using butt-welded joining techniques for primary joints

• Reliable electrofusion system for consistent joining

• Handles temperatures up to 212°F (100°C) intermittently

• Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance due to polypropylene material in primary and containment pipe

• Connects to Fuseal II without the need for special fittings or tools

• GF quality, field support, and factory engineering

Fuseal Squared®

Double Containment Polypropylene Corrosive

Why install double containment piping While there may be no direct regulations, codes, or mandates clearly defining the requirements for installing double containment piping systems for corrosive or laboratory waste systems, federal, state, and local authorities have enacted regulations to protect our environment from soil and groundwater pollution. The Fuseal Squared system, with its modular design, is a reliable and cost-effective solution for allaying concerns of potential soil or groundwater infiltration from corroding or decaying single wall buried piping systems.

Fuseal Squared is also an ideal option for above-grade installations where there are concerns over protection of personnel and equipment from potential leaking of single-wall piping conveying hazardous waste streams.

Applications Fuseal Squared’s chemical and physical properties make it an ideal and complete solution for handling corrosive, chemical waste in buried laboratory and industrial DWV applications.

Fuseal Squared is suitable for use in virtually every application where acids, bases, and solvents are drained and where environmental protection is key.

Specification for Fuseal piping system Pipe and fittings shall conform to the requirements of ASTM

F-1412, standard specification for polyolefin pipe and fittings for corrosive waste drainage systems.

All fittings shall be manufactured by GF Piping Systems so they are compatible with Fuseal pipe. The system shall be joined by the use of electrical resistance coils (electrofusion) energized by a variable low voltage power supply via a duplex connector.

Pipe and fittings Fuseal Squared pipe is manufactured to ASTM Schedule 40 requirements and all Fuseal Squared standard fittings are fabricated to DWV patterns utilizing butt-welding technology.

Fabrication allows for precise production tolerances which provide for an optimal fit between the primary and containment fitting, as well as assuring standard connections to single wall

Fuseal II.

The size range for pipe and fittings includes 1½"×4" through

8"×12".

Termination fittings Termination fittings also utilize the electrofusion process to join to single wall pipe. No maintenance is required.

Centralizers Centralizers support and center the primary pipe and fittings within the containment pipe and fittings. Fuseal Squared centralizers are factory welded to the primary components, which offers the benefit of permanent and proper positioning.

Offerings Leak Detection: Fuseal Squared is capable of being installed with electronic leak detection per the GF catalog offerings.

Custom Fabrication: GF’s Custom Fabrications Department can build components and systems to customer specifications.

Material The GF resins offer superior chemical resistance for a broad spectrum of chemicals and waste products.

Fuseal Squared handles corrosive drainage fluids up to 212°F

(100°C) intermittently.
