Disclaimer:

Chemical resistance guidance is the result of our own evaluation based on immersion tests, literature, and accumulated field experience.

It should be emphasized that this data has been compiled for initial consultation purposes.

The results listed are to be used as reference material only without accepting any warranty, representation, or liability. No recommendation or guarantee of material selection is expressed or implied.

Any special or unusual factors, including pressure, temperature, stress, period of time, vibration, and other related parameters, should be taken into consideration.

The information is in no way intended to replace testing based on actual conditions. It is suggested that trial installations or test specimens be evaluated under actual process conditions.

Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

Note: It should be considered that PTFE has greater permeability than other plastics when in contact with aggressive media such as chlorine gas, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.
