CHEMICAL RESISTANCE LIST
The data given in these tables is only general information based on our own experience. The chemical resistance can be influenced by additional factors, such as a higher concentration or temperature, a higher pressure, climatic conditions, duration of exposure to mechanical loading, and, in particular, when mixed with other media.Therefore, these tables cannot be applied to all operating conditions. A legally binding assurance of certain properties or the suitability for a particular application cannot be derived from this information. For this reason, we exclude a guarantee or liability for the data published here. The data on the resistance to foods is for information purposes only and is independent of any legislation pertaining to foodstuffs. Unless otherwise stated, the data are based on a temperature of 20°C and at typical concentrations.

The information given in the table has been compiled and collated on the basis of our own tests, recommendations from our raw material suppliers and on practical experience reported by our customers. Because the specific operating conditions have an additional influence on the suitabilitity of the particular hose for a particular application, these data only represent guiding values. In many cases in which no practical experience has been gained, we recommend that the user carries out preliminary tests to avoid possible problems. This is applies, in particular, to mixtures of chemicals. We would be grateful if you would inform us of any experience you have made with these materials so that we can extend and supplement this chemical resistance list.
