Thanks for the chart Austin

Not only useful for distilling, saved it for future projects :)

In short words there are only 3 products that resist alcohol in temps around 100C.

The most recommended in the PDF is PTFE at 200 C followed by FPM at 180 C and last not least EPDM at 120 C.

Interesting info.

No worries Rednose,

Hopefully this info can put to rest some of the arguments that keep coming up about various products, if not, well at least it will make a decent reference point for people to use.

Cheers.
