Excellent Resistance – little or minor attack by the material
on fluoroelastomers; 0-5% volume swell where applicable.
Good Resistance – minor to moderate attack by the material on fluoroelastomers; 5-10% volume swell where applicable. F Fair Resistance – moderate to severe attack by the material
on fluoroelastomers; 10-20% volume swell where applicable. COK No Data Available – our conditional opinion is that fair to ex
