In addition, experience in use shows that 316 l stainless steel is satisfactory at optimum handling temperatures. For higher temperatures (which make for easier handling of the 80% products) , stainless steel containing 6% or more molybdenum (Rolled alloys AL-6XN, Avesta 254-SMO, INCO 25-6MO) are providing significantly more corrosion resistant. These alloys are more expensive; overall economics must be considered.

Conclusions:
PVC, polyolefin, Teflon, Kynar, Kalrez and vinyl ester are satisfactory to temperatures recommended by manufacturer. Natural rubber, neoprene and Buna-N should be avoided. It is recommended that specific applications be pre-tested.
Executive summary:

Chemical reactivity towards container material was tested according to test guideline AV 90.1, TRV 002, A and B. It was concluded that PVC, polyolefin, Teflon, Kynar, Kalrez and vinyl ester are satisfactory to temperatures recommended by manufacturer. Natural rubber, neoprene and Buna-N should be avoided. It is recommended that specific applications be pre-tested.

Description of key information
