Chemical resistance list 2013

ProMinent® Chemical Resistance List
Resistance of Materials Used in Liquid Ends to the Chemicals Most
Frequently Used
The data apply to standard conditions (20 °C, 1,013 mbar).
= For bonded connections, the resistance of the adhesive (e.g. Tangit) is to be considered. (Materials of the types 'o' and '-' are not recommended !) = does not apply to glass fibre reinforced material Concentration data are stated in weight percent, referred to aqueous solutions. If percentages are stated for the level of resistance, this level of resistance is only valid up to this concentration.
NOTE:
The elastomers CSM (Hypalon®) and IIR (butyl rubber) used as diaphragm materials in pulsation
dampers have properties similar to EPDM.
PTFE is resistant to all chemicals in this list.
PTFE filled with carbon,however, is attacked by strong oxidants such as bromine (anhydrous) or
concentrated acids (phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, chromic acid).
The resistance of PVC-U adhesive joints with Tangit deviates from the list below with regard to the following Concentration range

ProMinent® Chemical Resistance List
The data has been taken from relevant manufacturer´s documentation and our own tests.
Resistance of materials is also dependant on other factors, e.g. operating conditions, conditions
of surfaces etc, and so this list must be treated as an initial guide only. It cannot claim to offer any
guarantees. It should be taken into consideration in particular that usual dosing media are
compounds, and their corrosiveness cannot be deducted simply by adding the corrosiveness of
each single component. In such cases the chemical producers’ data of the material compatibility
are to be considered as a matter of prime importance for the material choice. A safety data sheet
does not give this data and therefore cannot take the place of the technical documentation on the
application.

Overview of the Resistance of Soft PVC Hoses (Guttasyn®) to the Most
Common Chemicals
This data applies to standard conditions (20 °C, 1013 mbar).
The data has been taken from relevant manufacturers' literature and supplemented by our own
tests and experience. As the resistance of a material also depends on other factors, especially
pressure and operating conditions etc, this list should merely be regarded as an initial guide and
does not claim to offer any guarantees. Take into consideration the fact that conventional dosing
agents are largely compounds, the corrosiveness of which cannot simply be calculated by adding
together the corrosiveness of each individual component. In cases such as these the material
compatibility data produced by the chemical manufacturer must be read as a matter of priority
when selecting a material. Safety data sheets do not provide this information and cannot
therefore replace application-specific documentation.
