What is a chemical resistance chart?

What is a chemical resistance chart?

This Chemical Compatibility Chart is a shorthand tool for describing the suitability of miniature fluidic and pneumatic component materials for use in contact with various chemicals.

What is the best gasket material for ethanol?

Fluorocarbon (Viton®) High fluorine grades of Viton® offer excellent resistance to swell in high octane and oxygenated fuel blends, making it the ideal sealing material for ethanol/methanol blended gasoline.

Is EPDM rubber chemical resistant?

Flexseal’s standard couplings, with an EPDM rubber body, resist 52% of the chemicals listed on the chemical compatibility table. Flexseal offers a dedicated range of chemical couplings specifically designed for resisting the widest range of chemical compounds.

Is NBR chemical resistant?

The chemical resistance materials that make up Flexseal’s core range of chemical couplings are an FEP liner and NBR (Nitrile) rubber body, which resist 89% of the chemicals listed on the chemical compatibility table.

Is EPDM resistance to sodium hypochlorite?

How resistant is EPDM? EPDM has a good resistance to many chemical products like detergents, caustic potash solutions, sodium hydroxide solutions and many other diluted acids and chemicals. It is not resistant to most hydrocarbons, such as oils, kerosene, gasoline and many solvents.

Is PVC acetone resistance?

It is important to note that PVC sheets are generally not recommended for use with acetone, ketones, ethers, and aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

What is a nitrile gasket?

Nitrile (Buna-N) Gaskets Acrylonitrile Butadiene (NBR) Nitrile rubber, also known as Buna-N and NBR, is the most widely used elastomer for gaskets and seals. Its properties provide excellent resistance to oils, solvents, gasoline, and petroleum based fluids.

Is nitrile rubber resistant to ethanol?

HBNR and nitrile rubbers were therefore also considered to be incompatible with E10. On the other hand, PVC/NBR showed better overall resistance from E5 to E10.

Is EPDM good for sodium hypochlorite?

Is neoprene resistant to acetone?

While neoprene demonstrates some resistance to acetone, it is not as good as either butyl or latex.

Is polyurethane chemical resistant?

Polyurethane resists degradation to a long list of chemicals. This makes it suitable for many industrial applications. Polyurethane’s chemical resistance is dependent on its formulation.

What is the difference between Viton and EPDM?

Viton® and EPDM are elastomers that are commonly used for O-rings. Viton® rubber is a fluoro elastomer, whereas epdm rubber is ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer. The primary differences between Viton® and EPDM is in their chemical resistance and temperature ranges.
