PPH Butterfly Valve

PPH (polypropylene) butterfly valves give you compact, quarter-turn control of large-bore alkaline and salt lines, DN50 to DN500, in wafer and lug bodies with a PPH disc and an EPDM or FKM seat. They hold up to about 85 °C, the tough, economical choice for big-flow isolation and throttling on caustic, brine, and alkali mains.

A butterfly valve seals with a disc that rotates a quarter turn inside an elastomer-lined body, so it is light, short face-to-face, and well suited to large diameters. On our valves the disc is moulded in the same virgin PPH as the body, and the stem is 304 or 316 stainless steel.

PPH chemical compatibility (seat-dependent)

PPH is rated to about 85 °C and excels in strong alkaline and salt service. On a butterfly valve the seat is an elastomer (EPDM or FKM) that contacts the media, so the seat sets the chemical limit alongside the PPH body and disc — EPDM pairs well with strong alkalis.

PPH butterfly valves suit large-bore caustic soda and alkali lines, brine and salt-solution headers, and alkali-recovery mains. For strong oxidising acids or the most aggressive media, choose PVDF and a PTFE-seated ball or diaphragm valve. See our chemical resistance reference for more.

Wafer or lug?

Wafer valves are clamped between two pipe flanges by bolts that pass around the body — the most economical and lightest option. Both flanges must stay in place, so a wafer valve cannot dead-end a line or isolate one side while you remove downstream piping.

Lug valves have threaded lug holes so each flange bolts directly to the valve body. The valve can be installed or removed from one side and used for dead-end service and end-of-line isolation, letting you service downstream piping while the upstream stays in operation (at a reduced dead-end pressure rating).

Operation

Sizes DN50–DN200 use a lever with a notched lock plate that sets the disc in 5° increments for repeatable throttling. Sizes DN250–DN500 use a worm-gear handwheel for easy operation at large bore; the gear operator is also available on smaller sizes for fine control.

Why our PPH butterfly valves

• Improved seat design for excellent, reliable sealing.
• Thickened body with reinforcing ribs and no hollow sections, engineered against stress concentration for strength in demanding service.
• Precise 5° opening control from the lever lock plate, for repeatable throttling.
• PPH disc in the same virgin resin as the body; 304 or 316 stainless steel stem; EPDM or FKM seat selected to your media.
• Virgin branded resin and factory-direct supply.

Typical applications

PPH butterfly valves suit large-bore alkaline and salt duty: caustic soda and alkali mains, brine and salt-solution headers, alkali-recovery lines in dyeing and paper mills, and neutralisation systems. To weigh PPH against the other thermoplastics, see our plastic valve material selection guide.

Proven in the field: see how our integrated PPH valves replaced a failing field retrofit at a Vietnamese lithium plant.
