Chemical Resistance Chart
This Chemical Resistance Chart is intended to be used as a
general guide only. Since the ratings list is for ideal condi-
tions, all factors affecting chemical resistance must be consid-
ered. Teflon FEP is rated “EE” (excellent at 20°C and at 50°C)
for all the following chemicals except Fluorine and Perchloric
Acid. It is rated “EG” for Fluorine and “GF” for Perchloric
Acid.
E – No damage during 30 days of constant exposure.
G – Little or no damage after 30 days of constant exposure to
the reagent
F – Some effect after 7 days of constant exposure to the
reagent. The effect may be crazing, cracking, loss of strength,
or discoloration.
