Composite valves are made from strong, light weight composite materials. Their graphite and fiberglass reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic resins are resistant to acids, caustics, bleaches and more than one thousand other industrial and waste treatment chemicals, at half the cost of traditional alloy valves. Composite valves have steadily proven their worth in tough industrial applications once thought to be solely the province of steel or alloy valves. Today, as FRP piping systems and tanks challenge traditional thinking in corrosive fluid applications, Austral-Powerflo Solutions and Nil-Cor offers a full range of ball, butterfly and check valves to make an all-FRP system a reality.

Butterfly Valve is corrosion-resistant inside and out - thomasnet.com -The butterfly-valve’s light-weight body is made of corrosion-resistant fiberglass-reinforced cast epoxy. The body, successfully tested to 800 PSI, combines outstanding strength and durability with high-heat resistance in corrosive environments. The valve features an integral ISO 5211 actuator mounting flange for strength and convenience.

Valves Cut Weight and Costs - Tom Shelly - Making
valves for offshore and marine applications from composites not only ensures
corrosion resistance, but achieves weight savings of as much as two thirds
relative to their metallic counterparts and is expected to reduce costs to end
