Chemical Resistance
Chemical resistance of URETEK materials is very satisfactory for the great majority of practical applications.
Uretek materials are very stable and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals but have a low resistance to aggressive acids such as concentrated Nitric, Hydrochloric & Sulphuric and solvents such as Methyl Ethyl Keytone and Acetone.
The following examples of chemical resistance are from 28 day Industry standard immersion tests:-
Volume Change:
0 - 3% Excellent resistance
3 - 6% Good resistance
> 6% Poor resistance
