Direct answer

LibertyCES has documented Sealless Pump in Oxidizers/Disinfectants service, including Sodium Hypochlorite, Peracetic Acid and Bromine. Wetted materials to confirm: PFA, PTFE and conductive PFA. Documented models include Richter MNK/RM Series. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.

Notes from the vendor documentation

Richter Industries page explicitly names Bromine Production, sodium hypochlorite, and PAA in F&B CIP context for its sealless mag-drive line.

Install / Failure Note

Richter's own documentation: MNK, RM, and QMD are not gas-tolerant by design — only MPB safely handles liquids with up to 30% entrained gas content, so specifying MNK or RM on an actively off-gassing oxidizer stream risks the cavitation-driven failure MPB exists to avoid.

Sodium hypochlorite off-gasses in the line, and Richter's own four-family lineup gives real gas tolerance to only one of them — MPB, rated up to 30% entrained gas — so specifying MNK or RM on an actively off-gassing oxidizer duty risks the exact cavitation failure MPB was built to avoid.

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.
