Chemical Resistance of Plastics

The chemical resistance of plastics is crucial in selecting materials for applications involving aggressive liquids and gases. Using inadequate materials can lead to significant consequences. Understanding the chemical resistance of plastics can save unnecessary costs, provide reliable advice, and enhance the safety of your application.

A chemical resistance study is conducted to understand how a plastic behaves when it comes into contact with a specific medium, under certain temperature and pressure conditions. Plastics are often used for transporting, storing, or treating aggressive liquids and gases. It is essential to choose the right plastic: one that is resistant to the medium you intend to transport, store, or treat.
