This guide provides information on the chemical resistance of flexible metallic conduit components, specifically PVC, PU, and Type LTXE thermoplastic rubber jackets. It helps determine compatibility with various chemicals.

Chemical resistance for PVC and PU is rated using a scale: A (Excellent to Good), B (Good to Fair), C (Fair to Limited), and D (Unsatisfactory).

No, the information is a guideline only, and no guarantee is implied. Results are based on controlled laboratory tests, not installed end-product applications.

After 72 hours at 100 °C, the LTXE thermoplastic rubber jacket retains 95% tensile strength and 90% elongation, with a 2% volume increase.

PVC has a "B" rating (Good to Fair) for resistance to Acetic Acid 10%.

PU has a "D" rating (Unsatisfactory) for resistance to Acetone.

After 72 hours at 80 °C, the LTXE thermoplastic rubber jacket retains 93% tensile strength and 84% elongation when exposed to Freon2.

After 72 hours at 100 °C, the LTXE thermoplastic rubber jacket retains 80% tensile strength and 100% elongation, with a 1% volume increase.

After 72 hours at 100 °C, the LTXE thermoplastic rubber jacket retains 100% tensile strength and 80% elongation, with a -14% volume increase.

PVC has a "D" rating (Unsatisfactory) for resistance to Carbon Tetrachloride.
