Chemical Resistance Chart - PVC

Warning! The following data is based on tests and believed to be reliable; however the tabulation should be used as a guide only, since it does not take into consideration all variables, such as elevated temperatures, fluid contamination,
concentration, etc. that may be encountered in actual use. All critical applications should be tested.
When in doubt, a sample of the compound should always be tested with the particular chemical it is going to handle.
Key:
A = Satisfactory
C = Questionable - Suggest Testing
U = Unsatisfactory
Blank = No Data
Note: This partial listing is for general guidance only and no warranty can be extended as exact operating conditions may vary in each case.
We base the information on past knowledge and experience.
