MATERIALS

Operating Temperatures

Maximum

Minimum

NITRILE: General purpose, oil-resistant. Shows good solvent, oil, water and hydraulic fluid resistance. Should not be used

with highly polar solvents like acetone and MEK, ozone, chlorinated hydrocarbons and nitro hydrocarbons.
NEOPRENE: All purpose. Resistant to vegetable oils. Generally not affected by moderate chemicals, fats, greases and

many oils and solvents. Generally attacked by strong oxidizing acids, ketones, esters, nitro hydrocarbons and chlorinated

aromatic hydrocarbons.

HYTREL®: Good on acids, bases, amines, and glycols at room temperature.

VIRGIN PTFE: Chemically inert, virtually impervious. Very few chemicals are know to chemically react with Teflon®,

molten alkali metals, turbulent liquid or gases, fluorine and a few fluoro-chemicals such as chlorine trifluoride or oxygen

difluoride which readily liberate free fluorine at elevated temperatures.
FKM: Shows good resistance to a wide range of oils and solvents; especially all alipphatic, aromatic and halogenated

hydrocarbons, acids, animal and vegetables oils. Hot water or hot aqueous solutions (over 70

F) will attack FKM.

EPDM: Shows very good water and chemical resistance. Has poor resistance to oil and solvents, but is fair in ketones and

alcohols.
SANTOPRENE

: Injection molded thermoplastic elastomer with no fabric layer. Long mechanical flex life. Excellent abrasion

resistance.
STAINLESS STEEL: CF-8M equal to or exceeding ASTM specification A743 for corrosion resistant iron chromium, iron chromium nickel, and nickel

based alloy castings for general applications. Commonly referred to as 316 Stainless Steel in the pump industry.
ALLOY C: CW-12MW equal to or exceeding ASTM A494 specification for nickel and nickel alloy castings.

For specific applications, always consult the Versa-Matic

"Chemical Resistance Chart".
