Abbrevation for Resin Codes
|
| HDPE - High-density polyethylene |
| LDPE - Low-density polyethylene |
| PC - Polycarbonate |
| PMMA - Polymethyl methacrylate |
| PP - Polypropylene |
| PS - Polystyrene |
| PSF - Polysulfone |
| PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene |

| Chemical Resistance Classification |
| E = Excellent
- 30 Days of constant Exposure cause no damage. Plastics may
even tolerate for years |
| G = Good - Little or no
damage after 30 days of constant exposure to the reagent |
| F = Fair - Some effect
after 7 days of constant exposure to the reagent like crazing,
cracking, loss of strength or discoloration |
| N = Not Recomended - Not
for Continous use. Immediate damage may occur |
