Chemical resistance

from the wheel materials polyurethane, polyamide and rubber

The following tables are based on test results, recommendations from raw material suppliers and reports from our customers. However, any legal liability is expressly excluded.

If no special information is given in the tables, standard commercial purity, concentration and room temperature are assumed for the corresponding media. In case of doubt and especially for untested and new applications, we recommend that you contact us so that special tests can be carried out or raw material suppliers can be consulted if possible.

Attention: Mixtures of different chemicals can have completely different effects than those indicated in the table. In case of doubt, we always recommend carrying out specific resistance tests on site beforehand!
