Chemical resistance

The following table provides information on the chemical resistance of stainless steel devices with flush-mounted touch screen.

Description

Properties

Observe the maximum ambient temperature

Liquids and vapors that act on the device for several minutes must not exceed a temperature of 45 °C at the device.

Flush-mounted Beckhoff touch screens are resistant to many solvents. The following solvents have been explicitly tested.

Solvent resistance

According to DIN 42115 Part 2, with an action time of more than 24 hours:

- ethanol, cyclohexanol, glycol, glycerine, methanol

- acetone, methylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone

acetic acid (< 50%), phosphoric acid (< 30%), hydrochloric acid (< 36%), nitric acid (< 10%), sulfuric acid (< 10%), chloracetic acid (< 50%)

ammonia (< 40%), caustic soda (< 40%)*, alkali carbonate solution*, potassium ferrocyanide, potassium hydroxide (< 30%)

paraffin oil, castor oil, pure turpentine

isopropanol, hexanol, diacetone alcohol

turpentine, mineral oils, cutting oil, linseed oil

unleaded petrol, diesel oil, petroleum benzine*, white spirit

engine oil, gearbox oil, antifreeze

bleach*, SBP 60/95*

Not resistant to

concentrated mineral acids, concentrated alkaline solutions, high-pressure steam over 100 °C

benzyl alcohol, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran

The same applies to a large number of household chemicals. The following household chemicals have been explicitly tested.

Resistance to household chemicals

according to DIN 42115 Part 2 with an action time of more than 24 hours:

dissolved Ariel* powder, dissolved Persil* powder, Wisk, Lenor*, Downey*

Ajax, dissolved Vim, Windex*

glass cleaner (ammonia-based)

detergents

household cleaners (Fantastic, Formula 401, Joy, Gumption*, etc.)

vinegar, coffee, tea, cooking fat, salad oil, salt

tomato ketchup

Splash resistance

Flush-mounted Beckhoff touch screens are resistant to splash water.
