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 of other chemicals 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 unqualifi ed guarantee. Ultimately, the customer must determine the suitability of the material used with various solutions and environments. All recommendations assume ambient temperatures unless otherwise noted.
