Each cell shows the rating at 20 °C. Where the rating at 50 °C differs, it follows the arrow. * marks an estimate in the source. Show as a table * estimated rating, given in the source without a temperature
Resistance table: Lead(II) Acetate, aqueous * estimated rating, given in the source without a temperature
Not rated in the source, so not in the table: Polysulfone , Silicone
Rating scale A very good resistanceB good resistanceC limited resistanceD not resistant– no dataK no general statement possibleA rating marked * is an estimate in the source, not a test result. An estimate is given as one value without a temperature.
About this data The ratings come from the chemical resistance list published by Bürkle GmbH, which compiled them from raw-material manufacturers’ data. They describe laboratory tests on the raw material at 20 °C and 50 °C.
A finished part also sees pressure, mechanical stress, welds and mixtures that a laboratory test does not. Treat the rating as a first filter and test under your own conditions before relying on it.
Chemicals with a similar resistance profile Same 20 °C rating on the share of materials shown.
