Chemical Resistance of Plastics

This document provides a chart summarizing the chemical resistance of various plastics including LDPE, HDPE, PP, PMP, PVC, PC, PS, SAN, ABS, acrylic, PTFE, PFA, and E-CTFE to different chemicals at temperatures of 20°C, 50°C, and 122°F. The chart indicates whether each plastic has excellent, good, limited, or poor resistance to each chemical, or if no information is available. It notes that chemical resistance depends on many factors and testing is required for specific applications.
