NOTE: Grades of KYNAR®resin
may vary in temperature rating
at different pressures. Please
consult Arkema for the
recommendation of a KYNAR
®
grade for your specific
application.
The listed ratings apply to solid
KYNAR®resin components only.
Coatings or laminates bonded
to other substrates may have
lower temperature ratings due
to adhesive or primer
capabilities in the system.
A special guide is available for
short term or low pressure contact.
This brochure called “KYNAR
®
Homopolymer Chemical
Resistance for Waste Systems
Guide”, can be made available
by contacting an Arkema
