Chemical Resistance of Plastics

Our chemical resistance chart serves as a guide when selecting the appropriate plastic material (HDPE / PE-HD, LDPE / PE-LD, PETG, PP, and rigid PVC / PVC-U) at 20 °C and 50 °C. Filter directly by medium or highlight a specific plastic material in the table.

Disclaimer: Our chemical resistance chart is intended as non-binding guidance. All information is based on experience and raw material manufacturer data at the time of publication. Since actual resistance depends on concentration, temperature, exposure time, and mechanical stress, it is the responsibility of the user to verify the suitability of our products and materials for the intended application. In case of doubt, please carry out your own preliminary tests.
