I am wondering what will be the best suitable elastomer (Buna-N, EPDM, PVC or something else) for rubber seat/ lining. The fluid being either Acid (0.2% wt HCL) or 1% wt. NaOH. Temperature may vary between 5 -40 C. A quick reply is highly appericiated. Thanx

natural soft or hard rubber or polyurethane appear suitable materials up to 65 deg. C
You will need to run the question opast the actual supplier so that they can offer their best grade.

The problem that you have is with the pH range some fillers may not be stable.
I would be more worried about hte fillers than the elastomer.
Ask the supplier lots of questions.
