The mixture of different media can lead both to an improvement and to a
debasement of the resistance. Statements in the resistance table are
only valid for one medium. The respective working conditions, such as
higher temperatures, extreme chemical and mechanical stress, combined
with dynamical factors may effect the performance of every hose
additionally.
If plastics come into contact with media, against which according to the
resistance table they are unresistant, so this may not necessarily
lead to the failure of the product. A strong, but reversible swelling
can therefore be classified as unresistant.
Therefore we recommend in all cases, in which exact details are required,
a test in our laboratory with the corresponding medium at the
temperature of use,
to find out these data by tests at the place of application (If
experiences concerning the application are not available, we will
gladly put the required test material at your disposal.).
The stated resistances are non-committal measure or experience values of
bench tests and therefore only standard values subject to changes and
deviations.
As the operating conditions with the user are outside our control, no
guarantee can be given.
The data means:
1
very good resistance: The material will
be probably not attacked by the medium.
2
medium resistance: The material will
probably have a satisfactory fitness for use for months or up to
years. Later an advanced damage could lead to destruction.
3
conditional resistance: By short term and
occasional contact, or at weak concentration of the medium, the
material will probably have a certain fitness for use. At continuous
contact you have to reckon with the destruction of the material.
-
unresistant or soluble: The application of the
material cannot be recommended, as the mechanical properties will be
reduced strongly, the material will be disintegrated or decomposed.
