LibertyCES has documented Pipe in Salts/Brines service, including Ferric Chloride, Sodium Cyanide and Raffinate/leach brine. Wetted materials to confirm: Advanced PE and glass-fiber reinforced polymer. Documented models include Asahi Advanced PE piping and Netafim FlexNet HP. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.
Notes from the vendor documentation
Ferric chloride, cadmium oxide, sodium cyanide named among Asahi's real installed-project case chemistries.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Ferric chloride real field install | City of Portland OR WWTP ran 40% Ferric Chloride in Chem Proline, 2013, replacing vinyl tubing | Asahi/America — Advanced PE Industrial Piping Systems (Chem Proline / Chem Prolok / Poly-Flo) |
| Cyanide-bearing plating waste real install | UTC Goodrich Cleveland OH, 2013: 7-9% sodium cyanide + 2% sodium hydroxide + 3% cadmium oxide + 6% sodium carbonate mixture in Chem Prolok double-wall containment piping | Asahi/America — Advanced PE Industrial Piping Systems (Chem Proline / Chem Prolok / Poly-Flo) |
| Leaching Control Skid raffinate/cyanide rating | Rated for raffinate solution up to 110°F (copper SX/EW) and barren cyanide solution up to 100°F (gold/silver circuit) | Netafim Mining — Heap Leaching Products Catalog |
| Leaching skid working pressure | Copper service 90 psi, gold service 150 psi (tested at 1.5x max working pressure) | Netafim Mining — Heap Leaching Products Catalog |
Chem Prolok's double-wall containment was specified for the cyanide-bearing waste stream itself at UTC Goodrich, not just the treatment instrumentation around it — a real distinction in scope that matters when a plating-line quote treats containment piping as optional.
Cyanide and ferric chloride sit in the same salts/brines family on paper but come from completely different processes — plating-bath waste and heap-leach raffinate — and the real UTC Goodrich installation confirms double-wall Chem Prolok containment was specified for the cyanide waste stream itself, not treated as an afterthought.
