Chemical Resistance Charts

Chemical Resistance Charts

This chart is intended to be used as a general guide only. Since each pair of ratings listed is for ideal conditions, all factors affecting chemical resistance must be considered.

First letter of each pair applies to conditions at 68°F/20°C, the second to those at 122°F/50°C..

LDPE
HDPE
PP/PA
PMP

= Low Density Polyethylene
= High Density Polyethylene
= Polypropylene/Polyallomer

FEP
PFA
PTFE

=Fluoroplastics/Fluoropolymers

PC
PVDC
PSF

= Polycarbonate
= Polyvinylchloride
= Polysulfone

E=excellent G=good F=fair N=Not recommended
