This chart is a general guide. Chemical resistance depends on concentration, temperature and exposure time. Confirm your application with Bailiff before ordering. Don’t use welded flanges in sidewalls for nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid or other oxidizers. Need ratings for HDPE, PVDF or nylon tanks? See the full chemical compatibility database on plasticstoragetanks.com.
