Beck fittings made of PP, PPs-el, PVC, and PE are resistant to a wide range of concentrated acids (e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid) and alkalis (e.g., caustic soda, caustic potash). For special requirements, we would be happy to advise you on the optimal material selection.
Corrosion-resistant ventilation solutions for the chemical industry
Durable, reliable exhaust systems for highly corrosive process environments
Your chemical production processes generate corrosive vapors from acids, alkalis, and reactive process gases—conditions under which conventional metal ducting systems quickly fail. For over 60 years, Beck has been developing specialized plastic ventilation components that remain durable and reliable while simultaneously reducing your energy costs. Benefit from flow-optimized fittings, explosion-proof materials, and a complete system offering ranging from laboratory fume hoods to large-scale plants.

Excellent chemical resistance for long-lasting protection
Beck pipe fittings made of PVDF, PPs, PP, PPs-el, PVC, and PE are permanently resistant to concentrated acids and alkalis, making them ideal for chemically contaminated exhaust air in the process industry. While metal pipe systems corrode under these conditions and must be replaced regularly, our plastic components retain their structural integrity for decades.
Energy efficiency through flow-optimized geometry
Seamless, thermoformed elbows and fittings significantly reduce pressure losses, lower fan power requirements, and thus decrease the energy consumption of your exhaust air systems. This results in measurable savings on operating costs—a factor that quickly pays for the investment in an exhaust air system when operated 24/7.
Complete system range from a single source
Assembly-ready fittings from DN 50 to DN 1400 enable complete exhaust air systems—from laboratory fume hoods to large-scale plants in chemical production—using a uniform range of plastic components. This comprehensive system solution significantly simplifies planning, installation, and maintenance.
Safety in potentially explosive atmospheres
Explosion-proof materials for ATEX environments
The electrically conductive PPs-el version dissipates surface charges and is therefore suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX environments) in the chemical industry. In processes involving flammable vapors, aerosols, or dusts, this material prevents electrostatic charges that could become ignition sources.
Proven expertise and industry focus
For over 60 years, Beck has been developing ventilation components specifically for process air contaminated with chemicals; the chemical industry is one of the company’s core market segments. This decades-long experience is incorporated into every component—from material selection to design.
More information on Beck molded parts in the chemical industry
How much energy can be saved by using flow-optimized molded parts?
The seamless, thermoformed bends significantly reduce pressure losses compared to segmented metal bends. This results in lower fan power requirements and measurable savings in operating costs—which is particularly relevant for systems in continuous operation.
Are Beck components approved for ATEX zones?
Yes, our electrically conductive PPs-el version is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX environments). It prevents the buildup of static electricity and meets the relevant safety requirements.
Our product range includes fittings from DN 50 to DN 1400, enabling us to equip both small laboratory fume hoods and large-scale production facilities with a uniform system.
How long do Beck components last in chemically aggressive environments?
When the right materials are selected and the components are installed properly, Beck components can last for several decades—significantly longer than metal systems, which corrode under the same conditions.
Can existing systems be retrofitted?
Yes, thanks to the wide variety of molded parts and the modular system solution, existing systems can be easily expanded, or individual corroded metal sections can be replaced with durable plastic components.
What technical support does Beck offer during the planning phase?
We provide all necessary technical data, CAD drawings, and BIM models, and support you from the concept phase through to final implementation. If needed, we also produce custom solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
