Recommended Materials
Material Overview

Understanding the Ratings
Material is unaffected. Recommended for continuous use.
Minor swelling or weight change may occur. Recommended for intermittent use.
Severe "attack" occurs. The plastic may soften, dissolve, crack, or decompose.
* "Attacked" indicates a chemical failure where the material absorbs the chemical (swelling), dissolves, or becomes brittle (embrittlement).
