Chemical resistance properties

Chemical resistance properties Chemical resistance chart of RTS conveyor belts PVC 2 18 POLYOLEFIN 18 30 POLYURETHANE 18 30 URETHANE IMPREGNATED 18 30 The data are based on laboratory tests and practical experience and apply to standard 20 C and 65 % relative humidity ambient conditions. Substantial deviations from the standard ambient conditions may cause changes in the chemical resistance of theindividual coatings, e.g. interaction of moisture and heat. Please enquire. We recommend testing chemical resist ance under your operating conditions using the actual media in contact with the belt. We will be pleased to supply appropriate samples on request Symbols: Suitable Limited Very limited Unfit General Use PVC is oil and grease resistant. FDA PVC has full FDA approval for use in hangling food and related products. Hard PVC is abrasion resistance with high mechanical strength partıculary suitable for agriculture and general aplications, espacially where the application causes high abrasion. 1
