Chemical Resistance Data These recommendations are based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available published information and are believed to be accurate. However, since the resistance of metals, plastics and elastomers can be affected by concentration, temperature, presence of other chemicals and other factors, this information should be considered as a general guide rather than an unqualified guarantee. Ultimately, the customer must determine the suitability of the pump used in various solutions. All recommendations assume ambient temperatures unless otherwise noted. Ratings ó Chemical Effect AóNo effectóExcellent BóMinor effectóGood CóModerate effectóFair DóSevere effectóNot Recommended Footnotes 1. P.V.C.óSatisfactory to 72ƒF. 2. PolypropyleneóSatisfactory to 72ƒF 3. PolypropyleneóSatisfactory to 120ƒF. The ratings for these materials are based upon the chemical resistance only. 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 - PVC (Type 1) Tygon (E-3606) PFA FEP PTFE Nylon Polyethylene Polypropolyne FKM Silicone Neoprene Santoprene Acetaidehyde5 D D A A C B D B D -- Acetamide -- -- -- -- -- -- A -- A -- Acetate Solv.2 B D A A B D D -- D B Acetic Acid, Glacia1 C B A D B B D B C -- Acetic Acid 20% B -- A D -- A A -- C -- Acetic Acid 80% D -- A D -- B A -- D -- Acetic Acid A B A D B A C -- C A Acetic Anhydride D D A D A A D C B -- Acetone 6 D D A A C B D B C -- Acetyl Chloride -- -- A -- -- -- A -- -- -- Acetylene2 B -- -- A D A C B -- -- Acrylonitrile -- -- -- -- -- B C -- D A Alohois Amyl A B A A B B A D A -- Benzyl D B -- A D A A -- B -- Butyl A B A A B B A D A -- Diacetone2 D -- -- A -- D D -- D -- Ethyl A C -- A B A A B A -- Hexyl -- -- -- A -- A A D B -- Isobutyl -- -- -- A -- A A B A -- Isopropyl -- -- -- A -- A A C B -- Methyl6 B -- A A B A C -- A -- Octyl -- -- -- A -- -- A -- B -- Propyl A -- A A -- A A B A -- Aluminum Chloride 20% A B -- A B A A -- A -- Aluminum Chloride A A A D -- A A C A -- Aluminum Flouride A -- A D B A A C A -- Aluminum Hydroxide6 A -- A A -- A A -- A -- Alum Potassium Sulfate (Alum), 10% A -- A A A -- A -- A -- Alum Potassium Sulfate (Alum), 100% A B A D B A A -- A -- Aluminum Sulfate A B A A B A A -- A -- Amines C A A A -- -- D C B -- Ammonia 10% A -- A A -- A A -- A -- Ammonia, Anhydrous A B A A B A D B A -- Ammonia, Liquids A B A -- D A D B A -- Ammonia, Nitrate B B -- -- -- A -- -- C -- Ammonia, Bifluoride A -- -- -- -- A A -- A -- Ammonia, Carbonate A B A A -- A B C A -- Ammonia, Casenite -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- A -- - PVC (Type 1) Tygon (E-3606) PFA FEP PTFE Nylon Polyethylene Polypropolyne FKM Silicone Neoprene Santoprene Ammonia, Chloride A B A A B A A C A -- Ammonia, Hydroxide A B A A B A B B A -- Ammonia, Nitrate A B A D B A D C A -- Ammonia, Oxalate -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- A -- Ammonia, Persulfate A -- A D -- A C -- A -- Ammonia, Phrosphate, Dibasic A -- A A B A A B A -- Ammonia, Phrosphate, Monobasic A A A A B A A B A -- Ammonia, Phrosphate, Tribasic A -- A A B A A B A -- Ammonia, Sulfate A D A D B A D B A -- Ammonia, Thio-sulfate -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- A -- Amyl-Acetate D D A B D D D D D -- Amyl Alcohol A B A A B A B D A -- Amyl Chloride D C A C D D A -- D -- Aniline D D A C C B C C D A Anti-Freeze A B A A B A A C A A Antimony Trichloride A A A D A A -- C -- -- Aqua Regia (80%, HCI, 20%, HNO) D D A D D C C C D -- Arochlor 1248 -- -- -- -- -- -- A -- D -- Aromatic Hydrocarbons D -- -- -- C -- A -- D -- Arsenic Acid A B A A B A A -- A -- Asphalt A -- -- A -- A A C B -- Barium Carbonate A A A A B A A -- A -- Barium Chloride A B A B B A A B A -- Barium Cyanide -- -- -- -- B -- A -- A -- Barium Hydroxide A -- A A B A A C A -- Barium Nitrate B -- -- -- -- -- A -- A -- Barium Sulfate A -- A A B A A D A -- Barium Sulfide A A A A B A A C A -- Beer2 A -- A D B D A C A -- Beef Sugar Liquids A -- A A -- A A -- B -- Benzaldehyde3 D D A C D D D B D -- Benzene2 D C A A D D A -- D -- Benzoic Acid A B A D B D A -- D -- Benzol D -- A A -- A D -- D -- Borax (Sodium Borate) A A A A B A A C A -- Boric Acid A B A A B A A -- A -- Ratings ó Chemical Effect AóNo effectóExcellent BóMinor effectóGood CóModerate effectóFair DóSevere effectóNot Recommended Footnotes 1.
