The chemical resistance list is intended to assist the user in determining the usability of a variety of elastomers in many different chemicals.
The overview of chemical resistances helps the designer to select the material. The list does not claim to be exhaustive, but contains a very large number of chemicals. Their mode of action on materials such as EPDM, CR, PTFE or NBR is listed according to 4 different categories
Details on the table legend
- Category 1 No to slight change, 0 to 5% volume swelling (very good)
- Category 2 Slight to moderate change, 5 to 10% volume swelling (good)
- Category 3 Moderate to severe change, 10 to 20% volume swelling (moderate)
- Category 4 Not recommended/poor, as the material reacts very strongly
- The note n.n. indicates that no values are available.
