ACETAMIDE & Polypropylene Compatibility

ACETAMIDE INFO: Acetamide is used as a solvent, plasticizer, and a wetting and penetrating agent and in lacquers, soldering flux and explosives.

Not recommended in PVDF. Arkema, the maker of Kynar®, does not recommend Kynar Flex® 2850 PVDF, the resin we mold, for long-term service with Acetamide. Ask us about HDPE or polypropylene for this chemical. Arkema’s limits are for solid resin at atmospheric pressure and do not account for mixtures. Source: Arkema Kynar® PVDF chemical resistance chart. Confirm your application with Bailiff before ordering.
