Chemical Resistance Information
Our Chemical Resistance Database provides you with information on chemicals and fluids known to attack, or be compatible with our materials listed.
Physical and chemical properties of plastics vary greatly according to their composition. The kind of application determines which plastic to select. Many factors have to be taken into consideration: exposure time and concentration of chemicals, thermal stress, exertion of force, exposure to UV radiation, and aging, which may be caused by the action of detergents, or other environmental factors.
A careful evaluation of the necessary properties needs to be carried out before installing any material into a situation where it will be in contact with chemicals. The recommendations listed here are based on technical literature and information provided by the manufacturers of raw materials. They were prepared carefully and are intended as general guidance. However, they cannot replace suitability testing performed by the user under actual working conditions.
If you cannot find the information you require on our website, or are still unsure on your selection, please contact our knowledgeable sales staff that are always happy to help at sales@bayplastics.co.uk.
