RESISTANCE CHART
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE DATA
These recommendations are based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available published information and are believed to
be accurate. However, since the resistance of metals, plastics and elastomers can be affected by concentration, temperature, presence of other chemicals
and other factors, this information should be considered as a general guide rather than an unqualified guarantee. Ultimately, the customer must determine
the suitability of the pump used in various solutions.
All recommendations assume ambient temperatures unless otherwise noted.

RATINGS CHEMICAL EFFECT

FOOTNOTES

A No effectExcellent

1. P.V.C. Satisfactory to 72 F.

B Minor effectGood

2. Polypropylene Satisfactory to 72 F.

C Moderate effectFair

3. Polypropylene Satisfactory to 120 F.

D Severe effectNot recommended

4. Buna-N Satisfactory for O Rings

5. Polyacetal Satisfactory to 72 F.
6. Ceramag Satisfactory to 72 F.

The ratings for these materials are based upon the chemical resistance only. Added consideration must be given to pump selections when the chemical is
abrasive, viscous in nature, or has a Specific Gravity greater than 1.1.
