Our Story

about BAODI

Ningbo Baodi Plastic Valve Co., Ltd. traces its origins back to 1979, with its predecessors being Zhenhai Chemical Valve Factory and Beilun Plastic Valve Factory. The company is one of the earliest Corrosion Resistant Diaphragm Valves Manufacturers and Custom Corrosion Resistant Diaphragm Valves Factory in China to design and produce industrial plastic valves and receive acceptance from the Ministry of Chemical Industry. In 1979, the company manufactured its first plastic diaphragm valve, which passed the technical appraisal of the Ministry of Chemical Industry in 1983. In 1992, the company invented the one-piece flange ball valve, a structural design that has since become the most widely used plastic valve product in chemical-related industries. The development history of the company and its predecessors also represents an important chapter in the application of plastic valves in China's industrial production.

In 2006, the company expanded its product line to cover industrial plastic pipes and fittings, becoming one of the first domestic enterprises to apply CPVC material in the production of industrial-grade piping valves. Over more than 40 years since its establishment, the company has designed and manufactured various plastic valves for the most demanding industries. It has served tens of thousands of enterprises both domestically and internationally, exporting to more than 60 countries, and has consistently remained a leading manufacturer of industrial thermoplastic valves and piping systems. Our professional service and stable quality have always been well received and recognized by customers.

Baodi ranks among the global leaders in the number of product categories, capable of fully covering industrial plastic pipe and valve requirements.

Overview

A fully non-metallic flow path for aggressive and corrosive process fluids

Every wetted part chosen for corrosion resistance

Corrosion resistant diaphragm valves are built with a PP, PVDF, or CPVC body and a diaphragm elastomer selected specifically to withstand aggressive acids, alkalis, oxidizers, or solvents that would corrode a metal valve or degrade a lower-grade plastic body over time. Because the diaphragm isolates the process fluid from the bonnet, only the body, diaphragm, and weir seat are ever wetted, minimizing the number of components that must be individually corrosion-rated.

Matched body and diaphragm chemistry for demanding fluids

Selecting the body material and diaphragm elastomer as a matched pair is central to corrosion performance: a PVDF body with a PTFE-faced diaphragm, for example, extends resistance into strong oxidizers and halogens that would attack EPDM or standard PP. This valve family is specified wherever a process engineer needs assurance that neither the body nor the diaphragm will be the weak point in an aggressive chemical line's service life.

Application

Where corrosion resistance is the deciding factor

Aggressive chemical duty is the primary reason this valve family is specified over standard PVC-U or metal alternatives.

Acid & Alkali Processing
Concentrated acid and caustic transfer lines in chemical manufacturing.
Semiconductor Wet Process Lines
High-purity, corrosion-free handling of aggressive process chemicals.
Electroplating & Surface Treatment
Plating bath and rinse lines exposed to a range of aggressive chemistries.
Flue Gas Desulfurization
Scrubber slurry and reagent lines carrying corrosive, particulate-laden fluid.
Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical Production
Process lines requiring resistance to solvents and reactive intermediates.
Wastewater Treatment Chemical Dosing
Sodium hypochlorite, ferric chloride, and other aggressive dosing chemicals.
Material Selection

Matching body and diaphragm to the most aggressive fluid in the line

Corrosion resistance is a property of the body and diaphragm together; both should be checked against the specific process chemistry.

MaterialTemperature RangeTypical StrengthsCommon Use
PP Body0°C to 90°CGood resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, and solventsGeneral aggressive chemical processing
PVDF Body-20°C to 99°CSuperior resistance to strong oxidizers, halogens, and high-purity dutySemiconductor, bleach, and strong oxidizer service
CPVC Body0°C to 95°CBroad acid/alkali resistance at elevated temperatureHot corrosive process lines
PTFE-Faced Diaphragm-20°C to 99°CNon-stick, broadest elastomer chemical resistanceAggressive or fouling-prone chemical processes

Comparison

Corrosion resistant plastic diaphragm valve vs. lined metal diaphragm valve

Both aim to resist aggressive chemicals; a fully plastic body and metal body with a corrosion-resistant lining take different construction approaches.

FactorPlastic Diaphragm ValveLined Metal Diaphragm Valve
Metal Contact with FluidNone — fully non-metallic wetted partsMetal body present beneath the lining
Lining Failure RiskNo lining to fail — body itself is corrosion resistantLining damage exposes the metal substrate to attack
WeightLighter than an equivalent metal-bodied valveHeavier due to metal body construction
CostGenerally lower for equivalent chemical resistanceCan be higher, especially in exotic metal/lining combinations
Temperature RangeUp to about 99°C depending on materialCan exceed plastic valve ranges in some lined metal designs
Best UseAggressive chemicals within the plastic material's ratingVery high-temperature or high-pressure corrosive service
Advantage

Why a fully plastic body is chosen for corrosive service

No Metal in the Wetted Path
Body, diaphragm, and seat are all non-metallic, removing corrosion risk from every fluid-contact surface.
Matched Body and Diaphragm Chemistry
Body material and diaphragm elastomer are selected together for the specific process fluid.
No Lining to Fail
Unlike a lined metal valve, there is no separate lining layer that can be breached to expose a corrodible substrate.
Lighter Weight
PP and PVDF bodies weigh less than an equivalent lined metal valve, easing installation and support requirements.
No Stem Packing Leak Path
The diaphragm isolates aggressive process fluid from the bonnet and stem.
Broad Chemical Coverage
PP, PVDF, and CPVC body options together cover most aggressive acid, alkali, oxidizer, and solvent duty.
Structure & Components

What is inside the valve

A compressor presses a chemically matched diaphragm onto the weir seat within a fully non-metallic body.

1. Corrosion Resistant Body — PP, PVDF, or CPVC body forming the weir-type flow path
2. Chemically Matched Diaphragm — Elastomer selected specifically for the process fluid's chemistry
3. Compressor — Transfers stem movement into diaphragm deflection
4. Bonnet — Houses the compressor and stem, isolated from process fluid by the diaphragm
5. Stem & Handwheel — Manually raises and lowers the compressor to control flow
6. Weir Seat — Raised flow restriction in the body that the diaphragm seals against
Quality Control

Every valve is checked before it ships

Material certification and sealing performance are both verified given the demanding service this valve family is specified for.

1
Material Certification Check
Body and diaphragm material batches are checked against the specified grade and chemical resistance data.
2
Hydrostatic Test
Each valve body is pressure tested with water to confirm it withstands its rated working pressure.
3
Diaphragm Seal Test
An air or water seal test verifies bubble-tight shutoff with the diaphragm fully seated.
4
Compressor Travel Check
Stem and compressor travel are checked for smooth, full-range operation.
5
Visual & Dimensional Inspection
Body and diaphragm are checked for defects, discoloration, or dimensional deviation.
6
Batch Traceability
Production batches are recorded, allowing traceability back to raw material lots.
Actuation

Manual, pneumatic, or electric

A bonnet-mounted actuator interface allows the handwheel to be replaced with pneumatic or electric operation for automated corrosive-service duty.

Installation & Maintenance

Getting it right in the field

Installation Guidance
  • Confirm both body and diaphragm materials are rated for every chemical present in the line, including cleaning and flushing fluids.
  • Support the pipeline near the valve to avoid placing stress on the body during installation.
  • For solvent weld connections, use a cement compatible with the specific body material and allow full cure before pressurizing.
  • Operate the handwheel through its full range after installation to confirm smooth diaphragm travel before service.
Maintenance Guidance
  • Inspect the diaphragm periodically for cracking, swelling, or discoloration, which can indicate chemical attack.
  • Replace the diaphragm proactively on aggressive-service lines rather than waiting for a visible failure.
  • Keep a chemical compatibility record for the line so material selection can be re-verified if the process fluid changes.
  • Keep spare diaphragms of the correct chemically matched material on hand to minimize downtime during replacement.

FAQ

Common questions

How is corrosion resistance determined for a specific chemical?
Both the body material and diaphragm elastomer are checked against the process fluid's chemical compatibility data; matching both correctly is what determines the valve's suitability for a given corrosive fluid.
Why choose PVDF over PP or CPVC for corrosive service?
PVDF offers superior resistance to strong oxidizers, halogens, and high-purity applications where PP or CPVC may not be suitable, though it typically costs more.
Does a fully plastic body eliminate all corrosion risk?
It eliminates metal-to-fluid contact in the wetted path, but the body and diaphragm materials still need to be matched correctly to the specific chemical for full corrosion resistance.
What is the temperature range for this valve family?
Depending on the body material selected, the range extends from about -20°C up to 99°C, with PVDF offering the widest span.
Can the valve be automated for remote corrosive-line control?
Yes, a standard bonnet interface accepts a pneumatic or electric actuator, allowing remote or automated control without changing the corrosion-resistant wetted parts.
