CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART ABS

CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART

ABS

Our products can be exposed to a huge variety of chemicals. The

data table below is an application guide, and indicates the

resistance of the specific thermoplastics we use in the construction

of our products, to common chemicals.

The data given should be used cautiously, and as a guide only.

Various factors such as concentration, additives, exposure time,

temperature and internal mechanical stress levels will all impact on

the working life of our plastic parts.

Use the table conservatively and if any doubt exists, do not

proceed with the application.

In the table below there are four ratings:

? A-Excellent indicates that at ambient temperature and

pressure, the material should not be affected.

? B-Good indicates that the material is slightly affected but

not to the point of being unsuitable.

? C-Fair indicates a degree of reaction that is generally

considered unsuitable and should not be used.

? D-Severe Effect indicates that the material should not be

used under any circumstances

All ratings are taken from data measured at ambient temperature

and pressure.
