Choosing a seal material for Ammonium Hydroxide, Grade 2

The table above rates every common O-ring elastomer for service in Ammonium Hydroxide, Grade 2 on an A–D scale. A is Excellent, B is Good, C is Fair (test before relying on it), and D is Not Recommended. An X indicates insufficient published data.

For Ammonium Hydroxide, Grade 2, the strongest candidates are Fluorocarbon (Viton), Perfluoroelastomer, Ethylene Propylene, Neoprene (Chloroprene), Aflas (TFE/P). These ratings are representative at ambient conditions (~20°C). Compatibility shifts with temperature, concentration, pressure and exposure time, so always validate the material against your real operating envelope before committing to a design.
