Chemical Resistance List
Resistance of liquid end materials against common chemicals at standard temperature 68°F (20°C). (May differ at other temperatures)
s = saturated aqueous solution n = unknown resistance
+/0 = conditional resistance => = refer to . . .
+ = good resistance A.C. = any concentration
0 = limited resistance S = saturated solution resp. to aqueous solutions
– = no resistance Conc. = concentrated
+(x%) = good resistance to x% concentration D = weak solution
* = With glued fittings, please check the resistance of the glue.
These classifications are the results of practical experience of the manufacturers of the raw materials. Since the resistance of
the materials depends also on other factors (operating conditions, surface quality, etc.), this list cannot be more than a general
information for which no responsibility is accepted. It should be particularly noted that, as a rule, the aggressiveness of a
mixture is different from that of its individual components. In cases of doubt, suitable tests should be performed.
N.B. PTFE is resistant against most chemicals and solvents (excluding fluorine, metallic sodium and other alkali metals).
PVDF is resistant against most chemicals (excluding ketones, esters).

Chemical Resistance List
Resistance of liquid end materials against common chemicals at standard temperature 68°F (20°C). (May differ at other temperatures)
s = saturated aqueous solution n = unknown resistance
+/o = conditional resistance = refer to . . .
+ = good resistance A.C. = any concentration
o = limited resistance S = saturated solution resp. to aqueous solutions
– = no resistance Conc. = concentrated
+(x%) = good resistance to x% concentration D = weak solution
* = With glued fittings, please check the resistance of the glue.
N.B. PTFE is resistant against most chemicals and solvents (excluding fluorine, metallic sodium and other alkali metals).
PVDF is resistant against most chemicals (excluding ketones, esters).
