Install / Failure Note

A bare EPDM diaphragm exposed directly to an off-gassing chemical like sodium hypochlorite is where the failure starts — Asahi's PVDF gas barrier is standard specifically to stop that permeation from reaching the EPDM backing layer, not an upsell option.

Type 800 having its own dedicated dry-chlorine datasheet, separate from the general brochure, is the real signal — this line is validated for chlorine gas handling, not just marketed for it.

Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
