Pumps wetted parts can be built from a wide range of materials, including metals, elastomers, thermoplastics and more. It is important to understand how your pumped product will react with these materials, as incompatible materials can lead to corrosion, swelling and pump failure.
Unless otherwise stated, the data provided in the table below is at 21 degrees Celsius. As the resistance of metals, plastics and elastomers can be affected by temperature, as well as concentration and the presence of any other chemical, the below table should be used as a general guide.
A
Excellent
No Effect
B
Good
Minor Effect, slight corrosion, or discoloration.
C
Poor
Some Effect, corrosion, or discoloration.
D
Not Recommended
Heavy effect, corrosion, or discoloration.
-
No data
