Key to Chemical Resistance Guide Ratings
E = Excellent — Little or no effect due to exposure to the chemical.
G = Good — Satisfactory service expected, but some deterioration may occur after
lengthy exposure or under extreme conditions.
L = Limited — Variable resistance depending upon the conditions of use (e.g.
nature of the chemical, its concentration, service temperature, pressure, etc.).
U = Unsuitable — Not resistant. Not recommended for use under any conditions.
C = Cautionary — Although the chemical resistance of the material may be good,
special factors exist that must be considered in hose applications, such as
regulatory issues, permeation of vapors, and safety, health or environmental
concerns.
–= No Data
Many new materials have been developed to handle
the wide range of modern chemicals being used
in industry today. Many of these materials are now
being used in the construction of Kuri Tec® hose and
tubing products.
The following guide has been prepared to assist
the user in the selection of the correct hose for the
application. The recommendations are based on the
best chemical data available at the time of printing.
This guide will be continuously reviewed and new
information added as it becomes available.
A material’s resistance to the effects of a chemical
depends not only upon the particular chemical, but
also on other factors such as length of exposure,
service temperature, pressure, fuid velocity, and the
relative concentration of each component in multi-
component mixtures. Therefore, no guarantee is
expressed or implied.
The chemical resistance ratings for materials are
based on pure material samples and may not take
into account specifc factors related to the material
when used in a hose or tube. It is always advisable
that the product be tested under actual conditions.
Additionally, the Chemical Resistance Guide which
follows does not imply conformance to any food
handling regulations or federal or state/provincial
laws governing hose and tubing applications.
Before using any Kuri Tec hose/tubing product with
any chemical substance the user must determine
the suitability of the product for his/her intended use.
The user assumes all risk and liability for the use
of any Kuri Tec product with any chemical or other
substance.
