Choosing a seal material for Potassium Sodium Tartrate

The table above rates every common O-ring elastomer for service in Potassium Sodium Tartrate 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 Potassium Sodium Tartrate, the strongest candidates are Perfluoroelastomer, Ethylene Propylene, Silicone, Fluorosilicone, Neoprene (Chloroprene), Natural Rubber, Styrene Butadiene, Butyl. 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.
