Chemical Resistance
 
The values in the following tables are guideline values. Factors such as such as filling material, temperature, concentrations, stress, stress time etc. can alter these values dramatically. Therefore no guarantee can be given for the correctness of said values. The values are valid at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, and unless otherwise stated, with strong concentrations.
 
 
Explanation of Symbols
 
+ Resistant  
     
  None or only negligible changes in weight and mass (< 0.5 %).
  No significant changes in mechanical characteristics.
 
 
+/- Qualified Resistance
 
  After a period of time, significant changes in weight and mass (0.5 to 5.0%). Possible discoloration and reduction in strength and ductility. Qualified usability, though only when dealing with simple material requirements.
 
   
- Inconstant
   
  It is rapidly subjected to serious attack, and changes in weight and mass (> 5%), and critical in strength and ductility. Not recommended for use.
   
   
% Concentration
   
  If no value is given it is because no test results are available from our suppliers.
