Chemical Resistance
5.1 Metal Casing
The frame and casing material is powder-coated aluminum. This powder paint
withstands exposure to the following chemicals without visible change:
Acetic acid 10%
Phosphoric acid 4%
Citric acid 10%
Phosphoric acid 10%
Diesel
Sea water
Distilled water
Sodium chloride 2%
Edible oil
Sodium chloride 20%
Fuel oil
Sulphuric acid 20%
Hydrogen peroxide 3%
Tap water
The powder paint shows limited resistance to the following chemicals at room
temperature:
Butanol
Nitric acid 3%
Hydrochloric acid 5%
Nitric acid 10%
Isopropyl alcohol
Phosphoric acid 43%
Na-hypochlorite 10%
Turpentine
Note:
If exposure to any of the above chemicals is demanded, it is recommended to first test
the chemical on an “invisible” spot of the metal casing.
The powder paint shows little or no resistance to the following chemicals at room
temperature:
Acetic acid, conc.
Methyl-ethyl ketone
Toluene
Acetone
Nitric acid 30%
Trichlorethylene
Ammonia 5%
Phenol
Xylene
Ammonia, conc.
Sodium hydroxide 5%
97 octan unleaded petrol
