Hope Industrial Systems’ products are often used in industrial applications and exposed to chemicals that can affect their internal and external components. While our products are designed to be resistant to many harsh chemicals and environments, long-term resistance will depend on exposure, temperature, and concentration. Most chemicals our products are exposed to are not in continuous contact. Therefore, a material that might not be resistant when submerged in a chemical will last indefinitely when wiped down by that same chemical once a day.
The best indicator of chemical compatibility is to look at similar materials that already work well in your environment.
Below, we’ve provided a list of materials in our products that are exposed to the external environment. Each material listed in the Products section can also be found in the Resistance Properties section, which includes a non-exhaustive list of known-safe chemicals for that material.
For more information, or to confirm compatibility with a chemical in your environment, please contact support.
