The resistance levels reflected in this chart are based on moderate exposure, not long-term immersion in any of the above listed fluids. If your application is more rigerous, please request a sample to test against the chemicals in question. For best results, please use this chart as a guide and schedule regular maintenance (cleaning) for your mats.
