Chemical Resistance

Test specimens ... dumb-bell type
Duration of test ... 30 days
+ = resistant ... mechanical properties not appreciably affected
/ = limited resistance ... decrease in yield stress and ultimate tensile strength than 20%
— = not resistant ... decrease in yield stress and ultimate tensile strength greater than 20%
