A chemical-resistant sprayer is one whose seals, pump and wetted parts are built to survive the specific chemical you spray, and the seal matters most: VITON (FKM) for acids and solvents, EPDM for bleach, chlorine and caustics. Get the seal wrong and a standard sprayer swells, perishes and leaks within weeks. Get it right and the same unit lasts years.
The seal decides everything
VITON (FKM) handles most acids and solvents. EPDM handles bleach, chlorine, caustics and ketones. They rarely cross over, so a crew running both acids and bleach usually needs two units. Pick the page for your chemical: acid, solvent, bleach or alkaline.

Common questions
What makes a sprayer chemical resistant?
The seals, pump and wetted parts must resist your chemical. VITON suits acids and solvents, EPDM suits bleach and alkalis. The seal usually fails first on the wrong sprayer.
Which seal do I need, VITON or EPDM?
VITON for acids and solvents. EPDM for bleach, chlorine, caustics and ketones like acetone.
Can one sprayer handle several chemicals?
Sometimes, if they share a seal group. Where chemicals span acids and bleach, you usually need two units. Always rinse between chemicals.
Do you stock seal kits?
Yes, genuine VITON and EPDM seal kits, so you re-seal rather than replace.
