CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TABLE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TABLE The following abbreviations are used for concentrations in some cases where a specific numeric value is not given. The following table gives qualitative information as to the resis- VL — aqueous solution, percentage of mass less tance of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), PP (polypropylene), and than 10% HDPE (high density polypropylene) to specific chemicals under various conditions. The values given correspond to the most L—aqueous solution, percentage of mass higher accurate information available from raw materials suppliers of than 10% the specific resins, based upon testing results and other rele- GL — aqueous solution, saturated at 68° F (20° C) vant literature.

PPI TN-57/2018: Proper Integration of Copper Tubing and Components with PP-R Piping Materials for Plumbing Applications https://plasticpipe.org/pdf/ tn-57.pdf Note: Hydronic and other hot water heating systems are typically not affected by copper erosion due to the lower flow velocities, lower dissolved oxygen, and oxidant levels. The presence of oxidants and oxygen, in extreme hot water is typically found only in domestic (potable) water applications. ASAHI /AMERICA P.O.
