Operating Temperatures
CAUTION: Nonmetallic pumps and plastic components are not UV stabilized. Ultraviolet radiation can damage these parts and negatively affect material properties.
Do not expose to UV light for extended periods of time.
PVDF A durable fluoroplastic with excellent chemical resistance. Excellent for UV applications. High tensile strength and impact resistance.
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.
PTFE Chemically inert, virtually impervious. Very few chemicals are known to react chemically with PTFE: molten alkali metals, turbulent
liquid or gaseous fluorine and a few fluoro-chemicals such as chlorine trifluoride or oxygen difluoride which readily liberate free fluorine at
elevated temperatures.
FKM (Fluorocarbon) shows good resistance to a wide range of oils and solvents; especially all aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated
hydrocarbons, acids, animal and vegetable oils. Hot water or hot aqueous solutions (over 70°F) will attack FKM.
Santoprene
®
Injection molded thermoplastic elastomer with no fabric layer. Long mechanical flex life. Excellent abrasion resistance.
Polypropylene A thermoplastic polymer. Moderate tensile and flex strenght. Resists strong acids and alkalie. Attacked by chlorine, fum-
ing nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents.
Urethane Shows good resistance to abrasives. Has poor resistance to most solvents and oils.

Maximum and Minimum Temperatures are the limits for which these
materials can be operated. Temperatures coupled with pressure affect the
longevity of diaphragm pump components. Maximum life should not be
expected at the extreme limits of the temperature ranges.
