Chemical resistance data provided in these charts are based on published reports of laboratory testing and practical experience by
the manufacturers of the materials listed therein. This information is to be used as a guide only and not as a guarantee of chemical
compatibility with VuFlow filters. Final material selection for VuFlow filters is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and this
determination should be made from field testing in actual working conditions. Variations in chemical behavior during handling due
to factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentration can cause equipment to fail even though it passed an initial test.
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT. Use suitable guards and/or personal protection when handling chemicals.
A – No Effect – Excellent B – Minor Effect – Good C – Moderate Effect – Fair D – Severe Effect – Not Recommended
1 – Satisfactory to 72˚F (22˚C) 2 – Satisfactory to 120˚F (48˚C) • – Information not available
