• Metals: Copper, aluminum, steel, iron.
• Glass: Solid, non-porous.
• Plastics: Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC.
• Rubber: Flexible gaskets, seals.
• Concrete: Dams, reservoirs, foundations.
• Asphalt: Paving, waterproofing membranes.

Selection depends on pressure, flexibility, durability, and chemical compatibility requirements.
