Chemical Resistance Table

Choosing the right materials for your pump is critical – especially when handling aggressive or corrosive chemicals.

Our Chemical Resistance Table takes the guesswork out of material selection, helping you quickly identify which pump materials are compatible with your process media. Whether you're specifying a pump for a new application or troubleshooting issues with your current setup, this tool gives you a fast, reliable reference to ensure chemical compatibility and long-term performance.

Use it with confidence – and if you're ever unsure, our team is just a call away.

Chemical Resistance Table

To examine the compatibility of chemicals, select a relevant chemical from the dropdown.
Once that has filtered down, select additional chemicals to add to the filtered view as required.

The number represents the maximum temperature the material is suitable for that liquid in °C

X = not suitable at any temperature
