Chemical resistance data are only to be used as a guideline, as changes in the composition of the
medium (i. premixed concrete, silicon, foam,...) and operating conditions may cause variations.
Always perform a compatibility test if you are not certain about the materials. No warranty claims
based on the published chemical resistance chart will be accepted. We believe that the data are
up to date and we reserve the right to changes based on new information.
