General Chemical Resistance
- Acids: Excellent resistance to most inorganic and organic acids including sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, and acetic acid
- Alkalis: Superior resistance to sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia solutions
- Solvents: Outstanding performance with hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, and esters
- Oxidizers: Good resistance to most oxidizing agents at moderate concentrations and temperatures
Important Considerations
- Chemical resistance can vary with concentration, temperature, and pressure
- Contact our technical team for specific chemical compatibility questions
- Testing is recommended for critical or unusual service conditions
- Material selection should consider all operating parameters simultaneously
Important Notice
Chemical compatibility data is provided as a general guide based on laboratory testing and field experience. Actual performance may vary depending on specific operating conditions including temperature, pressure, concentration, and presence of contaminants. For critical applications, we recommend conducting application-specific testing or consulting with our technical team.
