1 Chemical Compatibility ChartChemical Compatibility ChartChemical Compatibility ChartIntroductionThe selection of materials that comprise the wetted components of a fluidic system needs to be reviewed for Compatibility with the gas or liquid media to be employed. Depending on the type and aggressiveness of the media interacting with these components, swelling, reduced life, decreased performance or catastrophic failure could occur. The following Compatibility Chart should be referenced to properly select materials for specific fluidic information is compiled from a variety of resources based on technical data and tests made available by various Chemical , elastomer, and plastic resin suppliers. Recommendations made in this publication shall not constitute a guarantee or warranty of performance nor a modification or alteration of our standard product warranty, which shall be applicable to such products. This guide is believed to be accurate, but due to the many variables, which may affect the Compatibility of materials, this information should be considered as a guide only.

2 Actual decisions on material selection need to be thoroughly tested and evaluated by the customer for each specific application. It is the full responsibility of the customer to perform and evaluate the Compatibility of materials for their Legend (minimal or no effect) (possible swelling and/or loss of physical properties) (moderate or severe swelling and loss of physical properties) Recommended (severe effect and should not be considered)127 Speedway Drive Mooresville, North Carolina 28117 Telephone 704-662-3500 Fax 704-662-8744 or Media Aluminum 2024 Brass 303/304 Stainless Steel 316 Stainless Steel Nylon Polyethylene Polypropylene Polysulfone Polyurethane Vectra Grade A130 AEPDM EPDM FFKM (Chemraz ) FKM (Viton ) PTFE (Teflon ) VMQ (Silicone)Acetaldehyde11 1 1131221411 Acetamide2 1111111312 Acetanilide1 Acetate Solvent (pure)11 1 1112111413 Acetic Acid4433 Acetic Acid, 20%4141112 Acetic Acid, 80%414112 Acetic Acid (dilute)11111 Acetic Acid (glacial)13 3 222114221212 Acetic Acid (hot, high pressure)33121 Acetic Anhydride14 1 11424221413 Acetic Oxide (Acetic Anhydride)
