Rubber Chemical Resistance

This tool can be used to view the resistance of thousands of chemicals with different rubbers such as Viton and Nitrile. EPDM is extremely resistant to many chemicals such as Acetaldehyde, Acetamide, and Ammonia. Viton is resistant to many hydrocarbons and is best to use with chemicals in the petroleum industry. If you are looking for an oil resistant rubber, neoprene is a good choice and it also has a temperature resistance of up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Neoprene also has a low oxidation rate so it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. If you are looking for food safe rubbers, neoprene, nitrile, and silicone are all recommended for food applications.
