Chemical resistance data is a selection guide, not a warranty. Concentration, temperature, aeration and mixed streams all change the result. Confirm the service conditions with us before the panel is ordered.
Materials
Compare Type V, Type I and Type O against the chemical, concentration and temperature of your process. The chemical guide is a starting point for technical review.
Evaluate Type V for chemical exposure using the published resistance ratings. The 230°F catalog maximum is not an approval for every chemical at that temperature.
Compare Type I for industrial service where the chemical guide supports its use. Confirm the specific concentration and operating temperature.
Consider Type O where the published ratings suit the exposure. Check its lower catalog temperature limit of 160°F during selection.
