Chemical Compatibility
The
C-more
Micro-Graphic panels are built of three different materials that may be exposed to
elements outside of the enclosure. The panel’s screen has a polyester (PET) surface. The bezel
uses ABS plastic materials and the panel’s gasket is a silicone rubber material. The following
tables are provided to make you aware of the general compatibility between chemicals that may
be present in your work environment and the various materials used in the manufacture of the
panel. Use the table to determine those chemicals that are safe to use around your
C-more
Micro-Graphic panel and those that may harm it. The tables are made up of specifications
provided by the manufacturer of the listed material. The tables rate these chemicals as either
Excellent, Good, Not Recommended, or Not Usable. Because the ratings are for ideal
conditions at room temperature, consider all factors when evaluating your application. Areas left
blank have not been tested by the manufacturer of the materials and therefore information of
compatibility is not available.
