MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY


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 can be affected by concentration, temperature, presence of other chemicals and other factors beyond our control, this information should be considered as a general guide, rather than an unqualified guarantee.
