Chemical Resistance
The rubber suspension unit are fitted with elastomerics elements with a natural rubber base (standard quality “Oscillating Mix 01”). The superior technology represents a high standard supported by decades of experience and empirical know-how. The resistance to most chemical agent is excellent.
The following table is merely a guideline, of importance is always the degree of concentration of the chemical solvent. Therefore we suggest to make practice oriented tests.
