Chemical Resistance Chart - Rubber

1 Chemical Resistance Chart3012 South Croddy way Santa Ana, CA 92704 Phone ax ELASTOMERS & WEAR PARTSTMThe Chemical Resistance guide has been compiled to assist in selecting Chemical resistant materials. This information is intended isintended as a guide only. Many conditions can affect material chioices. Careful consideration must be given to temperature, pressure, amd Chemical cocen-trations before a final material can be selected. The compound should be tested under actual service conditions to ensure criteria used for the ratings were primarily volume swell Resistance , and in addition, aging Resistance .

2 For the most part the ratings were arrived from specific data or general agreement of the above sources. When no data or agreement was found, the ratings were arrived at by theory and analogy. In some cases they are the considered opinion of experienced compounders. We cannot guarantee their accuracy nor assume responsibility for their factors must always be considered when using a Rubber part in service. The most important as we see them are: a. The temperature of service. Higher temperatures increase the effect of all chemicals on polymers. The increase varies with the polymer and the Chemical .

3 A compound quite suitable at room temperature might fail miserably at elevated temperatures. b. Conditions of service. A compound that swells badly might still function well as a static seal yet fail in a dynamic application. c. The grade of polymer. Many types of polymers are available in different grades that vary greatly in Chemical Resistance d. The compound itself. Compounds designed for other outstanding properties may be poorer in performance in a Chemical than one designed especially for fluid light of these factors, it is alwaysbest to polymer is rated for use in individual chemicals at a room temperature.

4 Where multiple chemicals are in use, refer to the rating of the most aggressive fluid when evaluating polymer performance. Plymers are rated as: 1. Recommended. Little or minor effect, 0-5% volume swell where applicable. 2. Minor to moderate effect. Rubber parts probably still useful in most applications, 5-10% volume swell where applicable. 3. Moderate to severe effect. Rubber partsuseful in some static applications only. 10-20% volume sell where applicable. 4. Not recommended. --- No data availbable or insufficient , strong acids, fats, oils, greases, mosthydrocarbonsSimilar to natural rubberMineral oils and solvents, aro-matic hydrocarbonsOzone, ketones, esters, aldehydes, chlorinated and nitro hydrocar-bonsStrong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbonsMany solvents, oils, concentrated acids, dilute sodium hydroxideMost moderate wet or dry chemicals, organic acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydesSimilar to natural rubberWater, steam and brake fluidsMany hydrocarbons, fats, oils, greases.
