Hydraulic Hose Chemical Compatibility Chart
The Medium on the chart is what is going through the hose.
Index for Suitability:
- A = Unlimited Suitability = Good to Go
- B = Limited Suitability = Should be alright
- C = No Suitability = No Way, Nope, Nada Zip
- X = Will need to verify with our vendor = Let’s recheck on that. May need further info.
The Translation Column is just our way of having a bit of fun. Chemical Compatibility Charts are some of the most boring things to read.
We hope to have made you giggle just a bit.
NOTE: This was gathered from our vendor and we put on our website for informational purposes and therefore is subject to change and be updated.
