Chemical Resistance Chart for

Various Pump Materials

The recommendations listed on the following pages are based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available informa-
tion 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. 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.

How to use this chart: Column at left lists chemicals in alphabetic order. Columns at right list various pump materials, and their resistance to the chemicals
are rated by a letter code.

Chemical Effect Ratings FOOTNOTES

1. P.V.C. - Satisfactory to 72°F
A – No Effect - Acceptable
2. Polypropylene - Satisfactory to 72°F
B – Minor Effect - Acceptable 3. Polypropylene - Satisfactory to 120°F
C – Moderate Effect - Questionable 4. Buna-N - Satisfactory for “O” Rings
5. Polyacetal - Satisfactory to 72°F
D – Severe Effect - Not Recommended
6. Ceramag - Satisfactory to 72°F
* – Not Tested

The performance comments and limitations listed above are supplied by Harwil Corporation for information only. Ultimately the customer must determine
the suitability of Harwil Corporation products used in various solutions, situations and environments.
