In addition, chemical compatibility refers to the container material being acceptable to store the chemical or for a tool or object that comes in contact with a chemical to not degrade. For example, when stirring a chemical, the stirrer must be stable in the chemical that is being stirred. Many companies publish chemical resistance charts.
Compatibility is a term used by geochemists to describe how elements partition themselves in the solid and melt within Earth's mantle. In geochemistry , compatibility is a measure of how readily a particular trace element substitutes for a major element within a mineral .
The opposite is true for flash points and fire points. Spontaneous ignition temperatures of polyphenyl ethers lie between 550 and 595 °C (1,022 and 1,103 °F), alkyl substitution reduces this value by ~50 °C (122 °F). PPEs are compatible with most metals and elastomers that are commonly used in high-temperature applications.
EPDM is an M-Class rubber under ASTM standard D-1418; the M class comprises elastomers with a saturated polyethylene chain (the M deriving from the more correct term polymethylene). EPDM is made from ethylene , propylene , and a diene comonomer that enables crosslinking via sulfur vulcanization .
The performance of fluoroelastomers in aggressive chemicals depends on the nature of the base polymer and the compounding ingredients used for moulding the final products (e.g. O-rings, shaft seals).
This combination of properties allows FFKM seals to reach well into UHV pressures without the use of metal sealing. However, they are significantly more expensive than standard FKM O-rings. However, they are significantly more expensive than standard FKM O-rings.
Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR, sometimes called EPM referring to an ASTM standard) is a type of synthetic elastomer that is closely related to EPDM rubber. Since introduction in the 1960s, annual production has increased to 870,000 metric tons. [1] [2] The skeletal formula of ethylene propylene rubber.
No release agent is required, obviating post-production cleanup. Silicones also exhibit good chemical resistance and high-temperature resistance (205 °C, 400 °F and higher). For this reason, silicone molds are suitable for casting low-melt metals and alloys (e.g. zinc, tin, pewter, and Wood's metal).
