PVC Chemical Resistance Chart
What Chemicals are Compatible with PVC?
- Rigid PVC is chemically resistant to many acids, salts, corrosives, bases, fats, and alcohols
- The melting point of PVC is low, around 100°C / 212°F)
- Maximum operating temperature is around 60°C / 140°F
- NOT compatible with tetrahydrofuran or acetone, often incompatible with solvents

Above datasheet from CP Lab Safety Explanation of Footnotes 1. Satisfactory to 72°F (22°C) 2. Satisfactory to 120°F (48°C) Ratings: Chemical Effect A = Excellent. B = Good, Minor Effect, slight corrosion or discoloration C = Fair, Moderate Effect, not recommended for continuous use. Softening, loss of strength, or swelling may occur. D = Severe Effect, not recommended for ANY use. N/A = Information not available.
Please Note: The information in this chart has been supplied by reputable sources and is to be used ONLY as a guide in selecting equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility. ALWAYS test your equipment under the specific conditions of your application before permanent installation. Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this chart apply at a 48-hr exposure period. We have no knowledge of possible effects beyond this period. We do not warrant (neither express nor implied) that the information in this chart is accurate or complete or that any material is suitable for any purpose.
CAUTION: Variations in chemical behavior during handling due to factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentrations can cause equipment to fail, even though it passed an initial test.
