Hi!
i d like to know if PVC material is suitable for commercial hypochlorite sodium fluid (12,5% conc.) and temperature conditions greater than 40 ºC (104 ºF). This PVC material is for use in a dosing pump (membrane type) and a centrifugal pump (filling tank pump).

I was searching in several corrosion tables but i have found some contradictions and it s not clear to me.

Any help, link, advise or experience managing similar situation will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
