A = Good resistance
B = Acceptable with limitations
C = Not recommended
1 = Possible crystallisation - blockage or possible coating peeling (do not let dry plunger/barrel together).
2 = Swell of plunger protection layer, possible peeling.
3 = Acid vapours (better resistance with lower concentration). Do not leave instrument on bottle.
4 = Risk of damage, softening or discoloration of external parts through vapours. Do not leave instrument on bottle.
5 = Chemical degradation of glass parts (plunger/barrel).
