Description
Durco PolyChem GRP pump is an end suction, single-stage, centrifugal pump made in accordance with ASME B73.1 regulations. The pump is created using Glass Reinforced Phenolic (GRP), which is known for its economical price, long life, and superior corrosion resistance. A GRP pump is often preferred over expensive high-alloy metal pumps for handling extremely corrosive materials such as acid, chlorine, and saltwater.

LOW-COST, LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO CORROSIVE SERVICES
With corrosion resistance superior to many more expensive, highly alloyed metals and with costs closer to that of ductile iron, the PolyChem GRP has proven to be the low-cost, long-term solution in acidic and chloride-rich applications.
ASME B73.5M
Made of premium Derakane® vinyl ester resin reinforced with randomly oriented glass fibers, the GRP pump is designed to ASME B73.5M standards for chemical process pumps.
OMPRESSION MOLDED
GRP wet-end components are compression molded at high temperatures and pressures to evenly distribute reinforcing fibers. This results in Smooth hydraulic passages; High efficiencies; Lower operating costs; High structural strength.
