Rating System:
- A - Recommended - Little or minor effect
- B - Minor to moderate effect - Rubber parts probably still useful in many applications
- C- Moderate to severe effect - Rubber parts perhaps still useful in limited applications
- U - Not recommended
- Blank - No data or insufficient evidence - It should be noted that it is not expected that a polymer
unrated would perform better than those that are rated.
