Acrylic aka PMMA Chemical Compatiblity Chart - D
A little about acrylic (PMMA) thermoplastic and its chemical resistance
Acrylic (PMMA) thermoplastic is notable for its clarity, long service life and UV resistance. It is resistant to most detergents, inorganic chemicals, aliphatic hydrocarbons, fats and oils, diluted acids and concentrated alkalis at room temperature. This chart is a guide to PMMA compatibility with a wide range of chemicals found in industrial, commercial and laboratory applications.
Ratings
- A = Excellent
- B = Good - Minor Effect, slight corrosion or discoloration
- C = Fair - Moderate Effect, not recommended
- D = Severe Effect, not recommended for ANY use
