[15] TECHNICAL DATA / CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHART
Chemical Resistance Chart
This Chemical Resistance Chart has been compiled to assist in selecting chemical-resistant materials. It is emphasized that these
resistance tables are intended only as a guide and are not necessarily valid for all operating conditions. Many conditions can affect
the material choices.Temperature, pressure and chemical concentrations must be considered as it may affect the suitability and
durability of the metals, plastics and elastomers. In cases of doubt when considering our products, we strongly recommend the
customer to test samples with various material combinations, in order to establish and check their suitability under the actual
operating conditions of the application. No guarantees can be given in respect of the information contained in this publication. All
recommendations assume ambient temperatures unless specified.
