Kuri Te c' <br /> 11EIVED <br /> Chemical Resistance Guide OV 14 2016 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> DEPARTMENT <br /> Many new materials have been developed to The chemical resistance ratings for materials are <br /> handle the wide range of modern chemicals being based on pure material samples and may not take <br /> used in industry today. Many of these materials are into account specific factors related to the material <br /> now being used in the construction of Kuri Tec° when used in a hose or tube. It is always advisable <br /> hose and tubing products. that the product be tested under actual conditions. <br /> The following guide has been prepared to assist Additionally, the Chemical Resistance Guide which <br /> the user in the selection of the correct hose for follows does not imply conformance to any food <br /> the application.The recommendations are based handling regulations or federal or state/provincial <br /> on the best chemical data available at the time of laws governing hose and tubing applications. <br /> printing.This guide will be continuously reviewed Before using any Kuri Tec hose/tubing product with <br /> and new information added as it becomes any chemical substance the user must determine <br /> available. the suitability of the product for his/her intended <br /> A material's resistance to the effects of a chemical use. The user assumes all risk and liability for the <br /> depends not only upon the particular chemical, but use of any Kuri Tec product with any chemical or <br /> also on other factors such as length of exposure, other substance. <br /> service temperature, pressure,fluid velocity, and <br /> the relative concentration of each component <br /> in multi-component mixtures. Therefore, no <br /> guarantee is expressed or implied. <br /> Key to Chemical Resistance Guide Ratings <br /> ---- E = Excellent— Little or no effect due to exposure to the chemical. <br /> G = Good —Satisfactory service expected, but some deterioration may occur <br /> after lengthy exposure or under extreme conditions. <br /> L = Limited —Variable resistance depending upon the conditions of use (e.g. <br /> nature of the chemical, its concentration, service temperature, pressure, <br /> etc.). <br /> U = Unsuitable— Not resistant. Not recommended for use under any conditions. <br /> C = Cautionary—Although the chemical resistance of the material may be good, <br /> special factors exist that must be considered in hose applications, such as <br /> regulatory issues, permeation of vapors, and safety, health or environmental <br /> concerns. <br /> - = No Data <br /> 66 KKTCA0408 <br />
