Check Valves for Industrial Cleaning Marketplace

Whether your application deals with cleaning floors, pressure washing, or sanitizing, we offer check/pressure relief valves that control flow AND withstand harsh chemicals. We work as partners with customers and are able to customize our products to meet system requirements. Keep reading to learn more about some tried and true plastic material and o-ring options that work well within this particular marketplace.

Our go-to plastic, Polypropylene, works very well in many industrial cleaning applications. Polypropylene has a wide spectrum of chemical resistivity, and it is especially good with acids. This plastic also holds up well against ware. We offer Polypropylene in a natural option or in a variety of different colors for applications that require color coding.

Another plastic we get a lot of requests for within this industry is PVDF because it works well with ozone, which is known to be a natural, yet very powerful sanitizer.

For o-rings, we recommend EPDM or Viton®. Both options work well with ozone. EPDM also does really well with hot water, steam, alcohols, as well as certain acids and bases. Viton® is recommended for most acids and chemicals.

As always, it is important to discuss all liquids / gasses coming into contact with our valves, as well as application environment and intended shelf-life with us. Our Product & Application Specialists have worked with the most straightforward chemical dispensing devices to complex applications dealing with water / cleaner mixtures where our valves control mixing only under certain pressure conditions.
