Fluoroelastomer Chemical Resistance Guide

In order to reduce mean time between failures (MTBF), improve safety and reduce leaks, process and maintenance engineers must match a material’s performance and corresponding cost to process conditions. To ensure that the best product is chosen for an application, engineers must either have a working knowledge of elastomer characteristics or have a resource readily available. Today, there are a wide range of elastomeric materials on the market and multiple resources available, from books and technical papers, to material suppliers.

Because of the increasing complexities related to elastomeric material selection, Chemours has compiled this chemical resistance guide to help end users in their selection process. Chemours does not manufacture all the materials listed in this guide but with the help of The Los Angeles Rubber Group and The Fluid Sealing Association, we are able to provide background information on a variety of materials. Chemours has provided additional information on materials we manufacture to make a more knowledgeable material selection.
