For composite compounds, bond resistance (e.g. Tangite) must be considered

Use of materials rated o is not recommended

**

Does not apply to glass fibre reinforced material

Concentration data is given in percentage of weight for aqueous solution. If resistance rate is given with a percentage, this applies to
concentrations not exceeding that percentage only.
PLEASE NOTE: The resistance of CSM (Hypalon) and IIR (Butyl rubber) used in our pulsation dampeners is similar to EPDM.
PTFE is resistant to all the chemicals in this list. Black (carbon-filled). PTFE, however, may be corroded by strong oxidizers
like bromine (dry) or concentrated acids (e.g. Nitric-, Sulfuric-, Chromic-acid).

Viton is a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.

The data has been taken from relevant manufacturers documentation and our own tests. Resistance of materials is also dependant
on other factors, e.g. operating conditions, conditions of surfaces etc., and so this list must be treated as an initial guide only. It
cannot claim to offer any guarantees. It should be taken into consideration in particular that usual dosing media are compounds for
the most part, and their corrosiveness cannot be deducted simply by adding the corrosiveness of each single component. In such
cases the chemical producers data of the material compatibility are to be considered as a matter of prime importance for the
material choice. A safety data sheet does not give these data and therefore cannot take the place of the technical documentation on
the application.
