Chemical compatibility cannot be read straight off charts and other factors such as temperatures concentration pressure and duration of exposure can. The information accuracy of these ratings cannot be guaranteed nor is it a complete list due to the extensive area of this field. Optional select another category material chemical or rating to narrow your results for a specific combination or compatibility rating. The ratings for these materials are based upon the chemical resistance only.

You can not choose rating with both material and chemical selected. It is not intended as a guarantee. The information in this chart has been supplied to cole parmer by other reputable sources and is to be used only as a guide in selecting equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility. The chemical resistance chart given on the following pages is intended as a general guidefor rating the resistance of typical engineering materials to common industrial chemicals.

Equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility. Not recommended for continuous use. Click see results note. 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.

Before permanent installation test the equipment with the chemicals and under the specific conditions of your application. C fair moderate effect.
