CSM Chemical Compatibility Chart: Screening Reference

This chart is intended for preliminary material screening only. Chemical resistance depends on the exact CSM grade, compound formulation, cure system, chemical identity and concentration, temperature, exposure time, mechanical stress and test method.

How to use compatibility ratings

Published concentration and temperature ranges should be treated as reference conditions rather than guaranteed limits for a specific YQXPOLYMER grade or finished component. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the actual compound or article under representative service conditions.

Documentation and compliance

Management-system certificates and regulatory documents are separate from chemical-resistance performance. REACH, RoHS or other market-specific documentation should be confirmed for the exact supplied grade and current document revision where applicable.

Technical note: Do not use a generic compatibility table as a substitute for immersion, aging, swelling, mechanical-property retention or customer qualification testing.
