Direct answer

LibertyCES has documented Diaphragm Pump in Oxidizers/Disinfectants service, including Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen Peroxide. Wetted materials to confirm: PTFE, UHMWPE and PVDF. Documented models include Graco ChemSafe 1590/515/307/1040. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.

Install / Failure Note

Graco's own framing for ChemSafe is explicit: zero exposed metal in the fluid path is a direct design response to the corrosion failure a metal-wetted diaphragm pump risks on hypochlorite or peroxide service, not a cosmetic upgrade.

Sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide corrode exposed metal fast — Graco's ChemSafe line is machined with zero exposed metal in the fluid path for exactly that reason, which is why it's positioned as its own line rather than sold as a material option on the standard Husky.

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.
