Disclaimer Chemical Resistance

The chemical resistance data reported here are based on either measured weight/dimensional changes or degree of chemical attack determined from exposure in accordance with one of the relevant established international standards (ISO 175, ISO 11403-3, ISO 4599, ISO 4600, ISO 6252 etc.) or on the supplier´s experiences from successful applications of their products. Due to the application specific nature of the surrounding environment of each part during its service life, the indications provided should be used only for a first assessment; they are not intended to substitute for any testing you may need to conduct. You must make your own determination as to the suitability of this material for your specific application. Users shall in each case conduct evaluations under actual end-use conditions and/or consult with the resin supplier’s technical representatives.
