Chemical Compatibility

Check a Kelco product against the chemical it will sense. The checker rates every wetted material of the product — 316 stainless, polypropylene, Viton, EPDM, nitrile, uPVC, brass, bronze, nylon and others — using published A/B/C/D compatibility data at ambient temperature, and tells you plainly when no published rating exists.

Chemical Compatibility Checker

Select a product group, then an item and a chemical to check compatibility. The calculator evaluates the chemical against every wetted material of the chosen product and returns an overall verdict plus a per-material breakdown.

Select a group to see items.

Check a list of chemicals

Paste the chemicals on site, one per line, with the strength if you know it (for example "2x 50% Sodium Hydroxide"). Every Kelco product is rated against every chemical on the list, and only products that suit all of them are shown as suitable.

Lines: 0

Quantities and bullet points are ignored. Where the data has no rating at the exact strength, each material takes the worse rating of the strengths either side.

Important: All compatibility ratings refer to solutions at ambient temperature. Chemical behaviour may differ significantly at elevated temperatures.

The results provided are theoretical and may differ from real-world applications. Factors such as Specific Gravity (SG), Viscosity, temperature, concentration, and other environmental conditions are not accounted for in this calculator.

Kelco accepts no liability for the use of this compatibility checker. There are too many factors beyond our control when considering the suitability of a product for any given application. Users should conduct their own testing and seek professional advice before making decisions based on these results.

0 chemicals in the database. Not every listed material has a published rating for every chemical; where a wetted material has no rating for the chosen chemical the result says so rather than guessing.
