Rating Guide
How the Resistance Scale Works
Every record in the database is graded on the standard four-class industrial resistance scale, based on ambient-temperature immersion testing.
A
Excellent
Minimal swelling, softening, or embrittlement. Suitable for continuous service and long-term immersion.
B
Good
Acceptable for most fluid handling uses with routine inspection and defined service intervals.
C
Fair
Marginal resistance. Not recommended for continuous exposure or critical sealing applications.
D
Severe Effect
Rapid chemical attack. Avoid this material and select a more resistant polymer or alloy.
All ratings are subject to the engineering disclaimer provided at the bottom of every page. Verify operating temperatures, concentration limits, and pressure conditions before deployment.
Database
Recently Published Compatibility Reports
The latest chemical-vs-material evaluations added to the database, each with a full engineering analysis and printable spec sheet.
Workflow
How Engineers Use This Database
A three-step material verification workflow used by process, plant, and maintenance engineers.
1
Search the Chemical
Use the search bar or material hub to locate the exact chemical, concentration, or process media in your system.
2
Review the Rating
Check the A–D resistance class for your candidate material, along with the degradation behavior and engineering analysis on each report.
3
Verify Operating Limits
Confirm temperature, concentration, pressure, and exposure duration against your actual service conditions, then print the spec sheet for your records.
Specify Materials With Confidence
Every report includes a printable spec sheet with the resistance verdict, safety guidelines, and related comparisons — ready for procurement files and engineering documentation.
