TECHNICAL GUIDE
TUBING CHEMICAL
RESISTANCE
CHARACTERISTICS
POLYETHYLENE
VINYL OR PVC
The information contained in these lists is to be used as a guide for the
selection and use of Sioux Chief’s tubing products. It is recommended
that chemical resistance be checked with a sample of the product as
compounds and additives frequently change.
The list is not intended to be fully comprehensive and exclusion does
not necessarily imply that the particular chemical would not be suitable
for use with certain tubing products. Certain corrosives that would be
destructive to tubing or hose with prolonged exposure can be satisfactorily
handled for short periods of time if flushed with water after use.
All information should be used as an indication only and Sioux Chief
Manufacturing accepts no liability as to its accuracy.
