Neoprene
Its resistance to vegetable oils are very good. Its resistance to
abrasion is high. It is preferred to be used in neutral chemicals,
grease oils and some solvents. Since Acids, Esters and Ketones
damage to material structure, they are unpreferable transfer uids.
80 °C 23 °C
Buna-n
It is generally used in oils. Its use resistance in water and hydraulic
oil transfer is high. It can be used easily in fuel and derivatives.
80 °C 23 °C
EPDM
Its resistance to chemicals is good. It cannot resist very much
towards oil and solvents. Its resistance in alcohols and ketons is
at medium level.
85 °C 23 °C
PTFE
It is generally used in heavy chemicals and acids. It has great
resistance. It is very compatible for uid transfers in high temperatures.
85 °C 37 °C
Viton
Many of solvents and oils have great chemical resistance. It is
preferred in hot water and hot solutions in some acids in animal
and vegetable oils.
85 °C 0 °C
Santoprene
It has good resistance to acids and oils. Its mechanical exibility
and exibility life is long. Abrasion resistance is high.

Temperature values of materials whose operation temperatures are given above are stated by considering use
conditions of the diaphragm pump.
Pressure from the air line connected to the pump should not exceed 7 bar. Install the air line with a
pipe that will not have less size than the connection size so that the pump operates at demanded
efciency. Air line connection size is 1/4 in MIT 160 type pump. Install air line of the pump as
shown in page 4, gure 1. Pay attention that air line between the master air line and pump is
exible. Place a cut-off valve (ball valve) before the air line coming to the pump. Close air inlet
from this valve when necessary or if pump air is cut off.
