Definitions and abbreviations:
+ Excellent chemical resistance – continuous exposure for more than 30 days does not cause any damage or only minor damages.
° Limited chemical resistance – depending on the plastic material, a continuous exposure for a longer period of time may cause damages such as
cracks, decrease of mechanical strength, discoloration, etc.
– Poor resistance – the plastic material can be deformed or destroyed.
