Chemical Resistance Guide for Silicone Hose
KEY:
A = Good Resistance B = Fair Resistance C = Poor Resistance X = Not Recommended I = Insufficient Information
This tabulation is based on tests and on generally available sources, and believed to be reliable. This must be used only as a guide since it does not take into consideration all variables
that may be encountered in actual use, such as but not limited to temperature, concentration pressure, duration of exposure, stability of the fluid and possible contamination. In all
cases, the compound should always be tested with the chemical it is going to handle. All data is based on usage at 70°F (21°C) unless noted.
