I am interested in locating a material that can withstand a strong alkaline medium (10 M KOH) and approx. 5 atm pressure... I am somewhat new to material chemistry so all I have been able to think of thus far is PVC pipe.

Through my research I have discovered that PVC is highly fire retardant, durable, and has high tensile strength. These are all very important qualities for my intended design. However, I am unsure of its reaction to highly acidic or basic media. Also, I'm not sure if there are any better alternatives.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hmmm. That link does not open. I get this error message:

Well. Do what I did. Search on "property of materials" or "chemical properties" specific to polyvinyl chloride.
