Material Resistance Chart
This is to be used as a guide, always refer to material manufactures for exact chemical resistance.
| Symbol | Material | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| EPDM | ethylene propylene diene rubber | excellent resistance to hot water and steam, good resistance to the solutions of acids, bases, salts, ketones, formaldehydes, glycol-based coolants |
| EPM | ethylene propylene rubber | good resistance (better than EPDM) to the solutions of acids, bases, salts, ketones, formaldehydes, industrial alcohols, glycols |
| NR | natural rubber | excellent resistance to abrasion and low temperatures |
| NBR | nitrile butadiene rubber(buna-n) | excellent resistance to oils, fats, petrochemical products(petrol, diesel oil) |
| CR | chloroprene rubber (neoprene) | excellent resistance to ozone, weather conditions; flame retardant, good resistance to freon-based refrigerants and oils |
| SBR | styrene butadiene rubber | excellent resistance to abrasion, low production cost |
| FPM / FKM | fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) |
excellent resistance to petrochemical products (petrol, diesel oil), aromatic compounds and many acids and bases, good resistance to high temperatures |
| UPE (UHMWPE) | ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene | excellent resistance to most acids, bases and many other aggressive chemicals in elevated, though not very high temperatures |
| PTFE | polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) | excellent temperature and chemical resistance |
| PVC | polyvinyl chloride | good resistance to acids and bases solutions at room temperature, low production cost |
| PU | polyurethane | excellent resistance to abrasion, good resistance to oils and petrochemical products |
| PA | polyamide (nylon) | good resistance to solvents, paints, varnishes, adhesives |
