Sheet Materials Chemical Compatibility Chart

This chemical resistance table serves as a guide for the resistance to media of all sealing materials. All information is provided in accordance with the current state of knowledge and
is subject to change. If in doubt, please consult our Applications Engineering team.

The recommendations provided in this chart are only an aid in the selection of the most suitable sealing material. It is not possible to provide a warranty because the function and
durability of these products can be affected by a variety of factors that are outside the control or influence of Flexitallic. The selection of these products may also be affected by
special approval regulations, if applicable. Flexitallic urges compliance with such regulations, when the end-user determines such regulations are relevant to a specific sealing

Please consider metallurgy of TH815/RGS metal cores with media for possibility of corrosion
Key: A = Suitable
B = contact Applications for guidance*
C = Not suitable

* One or more components of material may be degraded. Higher temperature will exacerbate attack; higher concentration may exacerbate attack if viscosity of medium
does not increase significantly with concentration; higher gasket load will mitigate attack (limited to edge in contact with media)

The given ratings apply only to materials adequately clamped between flanges, and not to freely - immersed samples
