Chemical compatibility
Introduction
The Hydro 2000G and Hydro 2000S are manufactured from materials that give the
widest protection from chemical attack. However, it is important to check that any
sample or dispersant used is chemically compatible with the materials that they will
come into contact with within the dispersion unit.
This appendix lists all materials that come into contact with the sample and disper-
sant in normal operation.
Components in contact with sample/dispersant
Note
For the Hydro 2000S Viton seals can be upgraded to Perlast
™ to improve
the chemical compatibility. Contact the Malvern representative for details.
