Chemical Compatibility Chart
Use this chart as a reference
when determining the compatibility of membrane media and filter
units with commonly used chemicals.
Because of variations
in temperature, concentration, time, pressure and other variables,
you should test all media and holder components in order to establish
exact parameters.

of the Chemical
Compatibility Chart (PDF).
