CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHART
Notice: The Chemical Resistance Chart
given on the following pages is intended
as a general guide for rating the resistance
of typical engineering materials to
common industrial chemicals. It is not
intended as a guarantee of material
performance. The ratings in the chart are
based on data obtained from technical
publications, material manufacturers and
laboratory tests. The information given in
the chart should be used as a first
approximation for material selection,
rather than the final answer. This is because
chemical effects are dependent on many
factors, which can cause chemical ratings
to change within a given application.
Such factors include variations in
temperature, pressure and concentration,
chemical combinations, impurities or filler
materials, aeration, agitation and exposure
time. It is recommended that pumps and
materials first be tested under simulated
field service conditions. Never test or
operate a pump before acceptable
chemical ratings have been obtained
and the proper safety precautions have
been taken.
Interpretation of Chemical Resistance Ratings
Rating
Meaning
CR < 0.002
Excellent – Virtually no effect;
very low corrosion rate.
A
B
Good – Minor effect; low corrosion rate
or slight discoloration observed.
C
Fair – Moderate effect; moderate to high
corrosion rate. Softening, weakening or
swelling may occur.
Not recommended for continuous use.

Ratings for all chemicals apply at room temperature unless chemical is molten (e.g., paraffin wax, sulfur, etc.).
Ratings for Carbon apply to Graphite-grade Carbon (i.e., Graphite or Carbon-60).
Ratings for SiC apply to Self-Sintered Silicon Carbide.
Ratings for Ceramic apply to Ceramic Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3).
Ratings apply to chemicals at 100% concentration (except for salts which are based on aqueous solutions)
unless stated otherwise.

Footnotes:
1) Aqua Regia consists of 3:1 or 4:1 conc. HCl / conc. HNO3.
2) Swelling of plastic material may occur.
3) Depends on specific type of Freon.
4) For MDI or TDI service, pump must be completely dry. Carbon must not come into contact with humid environments
or any compound containing a hydroxyl (–OH) group (e.g., water, alcohols and polyols).
