Engineering / Chemical Compatibility

Chemical Compatibility

Chemical compatibility is an important consideration in various industries. Many elastomers can be susceptible to chemical attacks when exposed to harsh chemicals, solvents, oils, acids, or other aggressive substances. This can result in a range of problems, including cracking, blistering, swelling, and discoloration, which can compromise the integrity and performance of the product.

To avoid such failures, it is essential to select the right rubber material for the specific application, taking into account the chemicals it will come in contact with. Different elastomers have varying degrees of resistance to different chemicals, and using the wrong material can lead to costly and time-consuming product failures.

That’s where our chemical compatibility guide comes in handy. Our comprehensive guide provides valuable information on the chemical resistance properties of various elastomers, including silicone, EPDM, Nitrile, and others. It helps engineers and product designers make informed decisions about the most suitable elastomer for their specific application, based on the chemical exposure it will encounter.
