Resistance   Resistance to Chemicals, Oils and Fluids No rubber resists all chemicals. Compounds must be selected to perform in specific environments, and may be affected or damaged by exposure to chemicals, oils or fluids. Designers should therefore specify all likely and possible contaminants and carry out tests to ensure that the finished parts function safely.
