Chemical Resistance Guide
Many years of field experience and laboratory testing have shown that MasterFlow epoxy grouts
can be used successfully in a wide variety of chemical environments. The information in this bulletin
is based on a long history of successful installations in many types of manufacturing and chemical
processing environments.
Rating Descriptions
N = Not recommended
R = Resistant, splash and spill
T = Varies with conditions, may require testing
Note: Recommendations are based on temperatures up to 100ºF
(38ºC). If exposure is anticipated at elevated temperatures, or
for more specific guidance, please contact your Master Builders
Solutions representative.

This chemical resistance guide is designed to assist those responsible
for proper material selection. This table provides information on the
resistance of epoxy grouts to a wide variety of corrosive elements as
determined by field experience and laboratory tests.
These are general guidelines and do not constitute direct or implied
warranties. Because of the complexity of installations in corrosive
service, it is recommended that Master Builders Solutions be consulted
for specific recommendations before final selection and installation of a
particular epoxy grout.
