Chemical compatibility of plastics

Understanding chemical compatibility is essential for safe, reliable operation.

This page compiles trusted references on how common plastics perform when exposed to acids, bases, solvents, and other agents, including PA (nylon), PP, PE, PTFE, PEEK, FEP, PET, and FKM. Ratings reflect general performance ranges across acids, alkalis, alcohols, aromatics, halogenated solvents, hydrocarbons, and oxidizers. Because resistance depends on concentration, temperature, and exposure time, treat these tables as guidance and confirm against datasheets for your precise application.
