Continental ContiTech Chemical Resistance Chart
Ratings and Definitions
The Continental ContiTech Chemical Resistance Chart is to be used as a guide only.
A
The chemical is expected to have minor or no effect on the product. Product may be used
for continuous service. Changes in working conditions, such as concentration of the chemical or
temperature, may affect product performance and cause degradation of the product.
B
The product may be used for continuous or intermittent service, however the product properties will
be affected by the exposure to the chemical. Changes in working conditions, such as concentration of
the chemical or temperature, may affect product performance and cause degradation of the product.
X
The product should not be used with this chemical.
I
Insufficient or no data available for this chemical. Further testing is recommended to
determine compatibility of the chemical with the product.
Caution:
Unless otherwise specified, the ratings applied to tube stocks are based
on fully concentrated or saturated solutions at 100˚F (38˚C) under normal service conditions.
Note:
Hose ratings are for the effect on the polymer only. The degree of resistance of a rubber
compound to a specific chemical depends on many variables such as temperature, concentration,
length of exposure, stability of chemical, etc. For a specific compound, many grades of polymers are
available which can alter the compound’s chemical resistance.
WHEN IN DOUBT,
before using a specific product, contact your local Continental ContiTech Sales
Representative for assistance if unusual service conditions or high temperatures are present in the
product application.
This chemical resistance chart supersedes all previously published information
regarding Continental ContiTech chemical hose resistance ratings.
