CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHART CHEMICAL RESISTANCE DATA These recommendations are based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available published information 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. RATINGS — CHEMICAL EFFECT FOOTNOTES A — No effect—Excellent 1. P.V.C. — Satisfactory to 72 °F B — Minor effect—Good 2. Polypropylene — Satisfactory to 72 °F C — Moderate effect—Fair 3. Polypropylene — Satisfactory to 120 °F D — Severe effect—Not recommended 4. Nitrile — Satisfactory for “O” Rings 5. Polyacetal — Satisfactory to 72 °F 6. Ceramag — Satisfactory to 72 °F 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. NOTE: The materials shown below in BOLDFACE TYPE are used in the construction of Little Giant chemical pumps. ” 302 Stainless Steel 304 Stainless Steel 316 Stainless Steel 440 Stainless Steel Aluminum TITANIUM C276 NICKEL ALLOY Cast Bronze Brass Cast Iron Carbon Steel 1) PVC (Type (E-3606) Tygon PTFE Polyacetal Nylon ABS Thermoplastic Polyethylene CARBON CERAMIC CERAMAGNET “A NITRILE Silicon Neoprene Ethylene Propylene (EPM) Rubber (Natural) Epoxy Polyphenylene Oxide Oxide Polyphenylene (Modified PPO) POLYPROPYLENE POLYVINYLIDENE FLOURIDE FLOURIDE POLYVINYLIDENE (PVDF) SULFIDE POLYPHENYLENE (PPS) FLUOROELASTOMER (FKM) Acetaldehyde5 AAAB AA DCDDAAADC BAAADB BDBCA Acetamide BA C B AAA AADA Acetate Solvent2 ABABBACBABDAAB DAADD DA Acetic Acid, Glacia1 BAAB AA CCDACBACDDDB BAAADD BCBCB Acetic Acid 20% BA AA C A BAAD AAAAC CB Acetic Acid 80% BA AA C A DABD BAAC DB Acetic Acid BABB AA CCDC B ABAADDCB AAAACC CBCA Acetic Anhydride BAABB AA CDBD D DDADDDDA AAAADA CBBCA Acetone6 AAABA AA AAAA D DDADBADC BAAAADD BCADB Acetyl Chloride CA D A A A AA Acetylene2 AAAAA B BAAB AA DAAAAA CBACA Acrylonitrile AACB BB AC BD BAAACD DDA Alcohols: Amyl AAAC AA ABCC A ABACAABB BAAAAA DAACA Benzyl AAB AA AC DBAAADD AAAAD BBDA Butyl AAAB BA BCCC A ABAAAAB BAAAAA DAAAA Diacetone2 AAA AA ACADAAA DAADD DADA Ethyl AAAB AA ACAAACABABB AAAAAA BABAA Hexyl AAA AA ACA AAA AAAAA DBAAA Isobutyl AAB AA ACA AAAB AAAAC BAAAA A — No effect — Excellent 1.
