Chemical Compatibility Guide
Aro is pleased to present this selection guide to provide a convenient

and informative reference point for pump selection.
This information was compiled from information provided by material
suppliers and manufacturers.
The compatibility listings are intended as a guide only. We assume
no liability for their accuracy on their use. The user should test under
their own operating conditions to determine the suitability of any
compound and material in a particular application.
THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS (TPEs) verses THERMOSETTING RUBBER DIAPHRAGMS

Aros direction has been to move toward replacement of traditional thermoset rubber diaphragms with thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Examples of TPEs include:
Santoprene, Nitrile (TPE) and Hytrel.
TPEs are manufactured using a plastic injection molding process where the resin, or diaphragm material, is melted and injected into a mold to produce the
diaphragm. The advantages of this process includes:
Features
Diaphragm is molded to optimum shape
Homogenous part
High performance resins
Injection molded/tight process control
Benefits
Excellent flex life
No delamination failures
Chemical, abrasion and flex life
Low cost/consistent performance
Laboratory testing has shown:

Santoprene outperformed all rubber diaphragms except Buna in the mild abrasive fluids.
The Geolast diaphragm had equivalent life to the Buna diaphragms and was superior to the other
rubbers compounds.
Teflon with the Santoprene backer exhibited the best flex life of all diaphragms during the test series.
Traditional thermoset includes: Buna-N (TS), EPR, Neoprene, Viton
Thermosets diaphragms are constructed by sandwiching (laminating) a layer of fabric reinforcement
between two sheets of unvulcanized rubber. These are placed in a mold and compressed under
heat and pressure to bond and vulcanite the rubber.
Limitations of the process includes:
Inclusion of fabric limits design flexibility to
achieve optimum diaphragm shape.
Fabric does not remain centered between the
two rubber sheets
Incomplete bonding can occur
Time/Labor intensive
Inconsistent quality
Wicking of fabric

THERMOPLASTIC COMPOUNDS (TPE)

Thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE) diaphragms are manufactured using an injection molding process. The process allows the part to be molded in the shape and
configuration required of the diaphragm to provide excellent performance and life. The TPE resins used to manufacture the diaphragms exhibit excellent
dimensional and tensile characteristics eliminating the fabric reinforcement. The following TPEs are used in ARO diaphragm pumps.
THERMOSET (TS)
These materials are manufactured from natural rubber and man made additives to enhance resistance to various fluids. Diaphragms are manufactured using a
compression molding process. A nylon fabric mesh is molded in the diaphragm to add strength to the compound.

HALOGENATED SOLVENTS EXPLOSION HAZARD

Pump models containing aluminum wetted parts cannot be used with 111.-Trichloroethylene, Methylene Chloride or other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents
which react and explode. Although manufactures of those solvents typically add inhibitors to prevent a reaction, there is no assurance that they will prevent a
reaction under all conditions. Special caution should be exercised handling reclaimed or used solvents since the inhibitors are often degraded. Only Stainless
Steel or Acetal or PVDF pumps should be used for these materials. Other examples of Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents (H.H.C.) include, but not limited to
the following: Trichloroethane, Methyl Chloride, Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform Dichlorethylene.

Polypropylene - A general purpose low cost material having broad chemical resistance for use in a wide variety of chemical applications.
Kynar (PVDF) - A high performance fluorpolymer resin with excellent chemical resistance properties. Used for pumping aggressive chemicals at elevated
temperature. Material also has excellent mechanical properties.
Groundable Acetal - An excellent material for use in solvent transfer applications. The material incorporates metallic fibers in the resin to render the material
conductive to eliminate static charge build up and potential static discharge.
