- Product Modification
Product code nomenclature takes in to account selected primary features of a product. The suffix may indicate a primary additional functionality, however, further multiple modifications are almost always possible and may be agreed upon and specified prior to our technical and commercial offer. Such enhancements are a normal part of our service capability and they do not affect the general characteristics listed in technical datasheets.

Chemical Contact and cleaning
Reagent Chemical resistanceReagent Chemical resistanceAcetone Very good Beer Excellent Acid – (Weak) Excellent Brake Fluid Very good Acid – (Strong) Very good Coffee Excellent Alcohol Very good Detergent Excellent Anti-freeze Excellent Diesel Good Base (Weak) Excellent Foodstuffs Excellent Base (Strong) Good Lubricating Oil Good Battery Acid Very good Petrol Good Chemical resistance is influenced by many factors, including concentration, temperature, exposure time and material stress. Therefore the data should only be used as a guide.
Most common mild soaps or detergents dissolved in warm water can be used to effectively clean general dirt and surface contaminants, but in all cases should be objectively tested. Abrasive products will damage the surface.- Dimensional Tolerances
Standard tolerances are subject to the local standard tolerance set. Extra tolerance requirements may be possible on request and by special agreement
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Drying
HDPE has a very low moisture absorption, therefore pre-drying is not normally required
