CHEMICAL RESISTANCE DATA

Property	Typical Value
Effect of weak acids	Good
Effect of strong acids	Poor
Effect of weak alkalis	Fair
Effect of strong alkalis	Poor
Effect of oils and grease	Good

Note:

Good: Material may get minor attack after long periods of storage with chemical at ambient temperature

Fair: Material can be used for short time contact with chemical at ambient temperature

Poor: Material becomes unstable on contact with chemical at ambient temperature
