The “Chemical Resistance Guide” rates the most well-known polymers for their resistance to chemicals they may come into contact with. This document can be consulted to determine suitable rubber types for a specific environment.
In addition to chemical resistance, it is at least as important to take other environmental influences and operating conditions into account, such as temperature and load (static/dynamic).
The following documents provide a general overview of the properties, advantages and limitations of the most common polymers.
