Chemical Resistance of Polypropylene and Polyethylene
Generally speaking, the chemical resistance of polypropylene and polyethylene is considered superior to that of met- als. They are unaffected by most inorganic acids, alkalis, and aqueous solutions which rapidly corrode metals, althoughsome concentrated acids and oxidizing agents can attack them, especially at elevated temperatures.
