What is the chemical resistance (compatibility) of PLEXIGLAS^® moldings?

PLEXIGLAS^® is generally characterized by good chemical resistance. Molded parts made from PLEXIGLAS^® are resistant to most inorganic chemicals, aliphatic hydrocarbons, cycloaliphatic compounds, fats and oils at room temperature, and also to diluted acids and concentrated solutions of most alkalis at temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. By contrast, PLEXIGLAS^® is attacked by chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, alcohols and aromatic compounds. In case of doubt, tests should be performed or our Technical Service contacted.
