Good 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.
Uretek has good chemical resistance to all materials that are usually encountered in the ground
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
