Combinations marked "NO" should not be used. Combinations left blank have not been evaluated, but may work in some applications. Combinations marked with an "x" will within reasonable temperature ranges usually work quite well.
* Proper choice of plasticizers is important when using these rubber materials. Some plasticizers may leach into the fluid, which will alter the rubber properties and contaminate the fluid. It is best to test the particular grade of rubber in the fluid before use.
