Chemical resistance of plastics
This chart gives general guidelines only on the chemical resistance of plastics. There are many factors that influence chemical resistance, we therefore recommend that you
test for your own application before selecting the appropriate Azlon
®
product. If you have any doubts please contact us for assistance.
Good resistance;
continuous exposure to the substance causes
minor damage within 7 - 30 days
Poor resistance:
not suitable for continuous exposure to the
substance. Immediate damage may occur
