Chemical Compatibility Chart

RATING SYSTEM*
The following codes are used to rate
chemical resistance: 		G = Good
F = Fair
P = Poor
N = Not Recommended
(some swelling or degradation will probably occur)
* Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, Porex Filtration products are sold without a chemical resistance warranty. Buyer/user should perform appropriate tests to determine performance under specific operating conditions.
