Before permanent installation, test the equipment with the chemicals and under the specific conditions of your application. Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this chart apply at a 48-hr exposure period. There exists no specific knowledge of possible effects beyond this period. There exists no warranty (neither express nor implied) that the information in this chart is accurate or complete or that any material is suitable for any purpose.
DANGER Variations in chemical behavior during handling due to factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentrations can cause equipment to fail, even though it passed an initial test. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT Use suitable guards and/or personal protections when handling chemicals. Last Modified December 11, 2015
