NCN - (CR Chloroprene Polymer)
Resistant to moderate chemicals, acids, oils, fats, grease, many
solvents and ozone. Attacked by strong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones,
chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons. Neoprene is flame
retarding, holds up to weather and overall has good general physical
properties.
HCN - (CSM Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene) Similar to Neoprene
with better acid resistance and higher ozone resistance. Attacked by
concentrated oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and
nitro hydrocarbons. Very high ozone resistance. Hypalon ranks as one of
the best elastomers for use in environments where corrosive chemicals
are encountered, particularly oxidizing agents like sulfuric acid,
chromates and hypachlorites.
SCG - (SI Organic Silicone Polymer) Generally resistant to
moderate or oxidizing chemicals, ozone, concentrated sodium hydroxide.
Fair resistance to alkalis. Attacked by many solvents, oils,
concentrated acids and diluted sodium hydroxide.
AFG - (Aluminum Coated Fiberglass) Fiberglass cannot absorb
moisture so it won’t rot or decay and is resistant to acids, oils, many
solvents, weather and corrosive vapors. Fiberglass with an aluminum
cover allows the material a 95% reflective heat property that made it a
very good material in high heat.
VCG - (FPM or FKM- Fluorocarbon - hexafluoropropylene -
vinylidene fluoride) Viton is a DuPont trade name that most people know.
Fluorel is 3M’s trade name. Viton is generally resistant to all
aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, acids, animal and
vegetable oils. It is attacked by ketones, low molecular weight esters
and nitro containing compounds.
TCG - (PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene) Has very good chemical
inertness and resistance to a wide range of fluids; there are only a few
very rare fluids that will attack Teflon. It has toughness over a
temperature range of –50°F to +500°F. Teflon is a DuPont trademark. |
