TPX® (Polymethylpentene)

TPX (polymethylpentene) is used sparingly in the Upchurch Scientific product line. It offers good chemical compatibility across the full pH range. However, it is suspect to attack by halogenated chemicals and a number of organic solutions as well. Additionally, research has shown that, as the operating temperature reaches and exceeds 60ºC, the resistance to chemical attack is lowered considerably.
