This chart is a general guide. Chemical resistance depends on concentration, temperature and exposure time. Confirm your application with Bailiff before ordering. Don’t use welded flanges in sidewalls for nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid or other oxidizers. Temperature limits are from Arkema’s Kynar® PVDF chemical resistance chart for solid resin at atmospheric pressure; they do not account for mixtures. Need HDPE or polypropylene instead? Ask us.
Choosing seals
A strong choice for most acids, caustics, alcohols and water service. Not for oils and fuels.
Best for oils, fuels and many strong acids. Avoid with ketones like acetone and with strong caustics.
Good for oils, fuels and water. Not for oxidizing acids or ketones.
Welded fittings are molded from the same PVDF as the tank. See fittings.
Send the chemical, concentration, temperature and size. We’ll match the tank and fittings and send a quote.
