Chemical Resistance of Fluoroelastomers

CODE

EExcellent Resistance - little or minor attack by the material on fluoroelastomers; 0-5% volume swell where applicable.
GGood Resistance - minor to moderate attack by the material on fluoroelastomers; 5-10% volume swell where applicable.
FFair Resistance - moderate to severe attack by the material on fluoroelastomers; 10-20% volume swell where applicable.
NRNot Recommended.
COKNo Data Available - our conditional opinion is that fair to excellent resistance by fluoroelastomers is likely to occur.
CNRNo Data Available - our conditional opinion is that severe attack by the material on fluoroelastomers is likely to occur.
