Polypropylene Chemical Compatibility Chart
This Polypropylene Chemical Compatibility Chart is a shorthand tool for describing the suitability of
miniature fluidic and pneumatic polypropylene components for use in contact with various chemicals.
Use this chart to help guide your component selection.
*Important note: Stress cracking is caused by a combination of tensile stress, a stress cracking chemical
and the inherent susceptibility of a thermoplastic like polypropylene to stress cracking. Stress cracking
chemicals include detergents,such as surfactants, lubricants, oils, ultra-pure water and plating additives
brighteners and wetting agents.
Dil. sol - dilute aqueous solution at a concentration equal to or lower than 10%
Sat. sol - saturated aqueous solution prepared at 68F (20C)
Sol - aqueous solution at a concentration higher that 10% but not saturated
