Chemical Resistance Chart
Rubber elastomers are formulated to handle many diverse
chemicals. The following Chemical Resistance Chart assists
in the selection of the proper elastomer for the application
conditions.
Warning:
Chemical resistance charts are only a guide
and should be used as such. The degree of resistance of an
elastomer to a material depends upon variables such as
temperature, concentration levels, working pressure, flow
velocity, duration of use, among other variables. The compound
should be tested under actual service conditions to ensure
compatibility.
Caution:
The following data has been compiled from generally
available sources and should not be relied upon without
consulting and following Texcel’s specific chemical
recommendations. Neglecting to do so may result in failure of
the material to fulfill its intended purpose, and might result
in property damage and/or serious bodily injury.
Chemical Hose:
Special care should be taken with chemical hose. Do not use
chemical hose at temperatures or pressures above those
recommended by Texcel. All operators must be thoroughly trained
in the care and use of chemical hose. In addition, operators
must wear protective clothing and eyewear at all times. A hose
or system failure may lead to the release of poisonous,
corrosive, and/or flammable materials.
