 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TABLE
The chemical medias being handled by elastomer tank linings are increasing in number and diversity. To assist in the selection of the proper elastomeric lining for various chemicals, the following table has been prepared. This table is only a guide and should be used as such. Since there are many important considerations in the selection of the appropriate lining, it is advisable to consult directly with Blair Rubber's technical staff for lining recommendations.
