Chemical Resistance Tables

The data in the following tables were obtained from numerous sources in the industry. The information is based primarily on the
immersion of unstressed strips in the chemicals at ambient temperature and, to a lesser degree, on field experience. The end
user should be aware of the fact that actual service conditions will affect the chemical resistance. It should be noted in the follow-
ing charts that the “A” rating does not mean or imply that material will perform within original specification. The chemical resis-
tance table should be used for reference only. It is the ultimate responsibility of the end user to determine the compatibility of the
chemical being used in his or her particular application.
