Chemical Resistance

Chemical Resistance

 N/A Kynar® resins demonstrate excellent resistance to an extensive array of chemicals. They resist attack from most inorganic acids and alkalis, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, organic acids, alcohols and halogenated solvents. However, strong alkalis (i.e. pH >12) and strong polar solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide can impede the effectiveness of Kynar® resins. Foam performance may be slightly lower to solid performance but will have a comparative effect.
