(1) Two grades of ELASTOCIL
®
tubing were tested with each chemical;
those 2 grades are: R401/60 standard mix and R800/80 highly fi lled mix.
Compatibility of the 2 grades with each of the chemicals listed is the same
EXCEPT for compatibility with methanol; for standard, compatibility is ▀;
for highly fi lled, compatibility is ▲.
