Chemical Resistance Lookup

Chemical resistance lookup: 757 media × 17 wetted materials, filterable by service temperature

Look up materials by medium: type a medium, see instantly which materials work.
① Type or pick a medium ② Optionally set service temperature ③ Each card: Resistant / Limited / Not resistant / Unknown / Over temp
Resistant:long-term use  Limited:conditional (concentration / temperature limits)  Not resistant:do not use  Unknown:insufficient data, confirm with supplier  Over temp:above the material temperature limit

Data: resistance ratings compiled from publicly available manufacturer datasheets and material standards (EN / ASTM / UNS grades); temperature limits are general engineering values. Materials marked "material only" are listed for reference but have no rating matrix in this database.

Disclaimer: for selection reference only, not a substitute for written manufacturer confirmation. For severe service send us medium, concentration, temperature and pressure for an engineer recommendation.
