Chemical Resistance Guide                     

The Chemical Resistance Guide tabulates the classes of chemical resistance of thermoplastic and elastomeric materials most commonly used in pipe and fittings systems for the conveyance of liquids and gases. It is generally known that pipes and fittings in thermoplastic material are widely usedin industries where conveyance of highly corrosive liquids and gases requires high-quality construction materials, featuring excellent corrosion resistance.

Material Safety Data Sheets

MSDS contain useful information to document the hazardous properties of chemicals and other hazardous agents.
