Last updated: 2026-05-06. Total chemicals indexed: 778 across 55 chemistry clusters. Pillars are added continuously; if your chemistry is missing, call 866-418-1777 and we will publish the compatibility brief while you wait.
Chemical Compatibility Database
OEM-verified polyethylene tank, fitting, gasket, and bolt selection across 778 dedicated chemical pillar pages. Sourced from Snyder Industries and Enduraplas (Equistar).
Extended Chemical Compatibility Data
Beyond the 33 pillar pages above, our database contains Enduraplas / Equistar polyethylene compatibility ratings for 309 chemicals including ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, glycerin, methanol, ethanol, nitric acid, phenol, potassium hydroxide, salt brines, and many specialty industrial fluids. Additional pillar pages covering these chemistries are published continuously. Contact us with your chemistry and we will pull the compatibility data and recommend the correct system while you wait.
Rating Legend
| Rating | Meaning | Service Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| S — Satisfactory | Long-term service, no expected damage | OK for indefinite storage with proper venting and hardware |
| O — Limited | Occasional or short-term use | OK for transient handling; do NOT use for long-term storage |
| U — Unsatisfactory | Do not use | Material will degrade; select a different resin or tank material |
