I have to design a bracket that will insulate copper pipes. I need a material, resin that will be chemical resistant to Crude oil. The copper pipe will be energized with 7 watts. I understand Crude oil is very acidic, and was curious if PEX, XLPE, and PP are good selections, and which one would be the best for my application. Thanks
