A BOUT IPEX
At IPEX, we have been manufacturing non-metallic pipe and fittings since 1951. We formulate our own compounds and
maintain strict quality control during production. Our products are made available for customers thanks to a network of
regional stocking locations throughout North America. We offer a wide variety of systems including complete lines of piping,
fittings, valves and custom-fabricated items.
More importantly, we are committed to meeting our customers needs. As a leader in the plastic piping industry, IPEX
continually develops new products, modernizes manufacturing facilities and acquires innovative process technology. In addition,
our staff take pride in their work, making available to customers their extensive thermoplastic knowledge and field experience.
IPEX personnel are committed to improving the safety, reliability and performance of thermoplastic materials. We are involved in
several standards committees and are members of and/or comply with the organizations listed on this page.
For specific details about any IPEX product, contact our customer service department.

INTRODUCTION
Elastomers have outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents. Selecting the correct elastomer for an
application will depend on the chemical resistance, temperature and mechanical properties needed.
Resistance is a function both of temperatures and concentration, and there are many reagents which can be handled for
limited temperature ranges and concentrations. In borderline cases, it will be found that there is limited attack, generally
resulting in some swelling due to absorption. Resistance is often affected (and frequently reduced) when handling a number
of chemicals or compounds containing impurities. For this reason, when specific applications are being considered, it may be
worthwhile to carry out tests using the actual product that will be encountered in service. The listing that follows does not
address chemical combinations.
The information is based on immersion tests on unstressed coupons, experiments and, when available, actual process
experience as well as data from tests inclusive of stress from temperature and pressure. The end user should be aware of the
fact that actual service conditions will affect the chemical resistance.
Chemical resistance data from immersion tests cannot be unconditionally applied to elastomer components subjected to high
levels of continuous or frequent mechanical or thermal stresses.
When the elastomer will be subject to a continuous applied mechanical or thermal stress, or to combinations of chemicals,
testing that duplicates the expected field conditions, as closely as possible, should be performed on representative samples of
the elastomer product to properly evaluate the elastomer for use in this application.
RATINGS
Ratings are according to the product and suppliers.
The absence of any class indication for any given materials, signifies the absence of data for such material(s) with respect to
the specific chemical(s), temperature(s) and concentration(s).
Note: Chemical resistance data is found in a laboratory setting and cannot account for all possible variables of an installed
application. It is up to the design engineer or final user to use this information as guidance for a specific application design.
If a material is chemically resistant to the concentrated form of a specific chemical, it should be resistant to the diluted form
of that same chemical.

All Chemical Resistance data for Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) and Fluorocarbon (FKM) contained within this manual has
been provided, with written consent, by Parker Hannifin Corporation.
Resistance data was taken from Parkers 2008 edition of the Parker O-ring Handbook.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This and other information from Parker-Hannifin Corporation, its subsidiaries and authorized distributors provides product or
system options for further investigation by users having technical expertise. Before you select or use any product or system, it
is important that you analyze all aspects of your application and review the information concerning the product in the current
product catalog. The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the final selection of the
system and components and assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met.

ETHYLENE PROPYLENE (EPDM) & FLUOROCARBON (FKM)

All Chemical Resistance data for Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) and Fluorocarbon (FKM) contained within this manual has
been provided, with written consent, by Parker Hannifin Corporation.
Resistance data was taken from Parkers 2008 edition of the Parker O-ring Handbook.

Approximate Service Temperature Ranges for EPDM and FKM*

Ethylene Propylene

-70F to 250F

(-57C to 121C)*

Fluorocarbon

-15F to 400F

(-26C to 205C)*

NOTE: *These temperature ranges will apply to the majority of media for
which the material is potentially recommended. With some media
however, the service temperature range may be significantly different.
ALWAYS TEST UNDER ACTUAL SERVICE CONDITIONS.

Compound Compatibility Rating

Satisfactory

Fair (usually OK for static seal)

Doubtful (sometimes OK for static seal)

Unsatisfactory

Insufficient Data

Chemical resistance for EPDM applies to valves and fittings using EPDM
seals. Resistance data for FKM applies only to fittings using FKM seals.
For chemical resistance information on valves using FPM seals please refer
