Chemical Resistance

PE exhibits high resistance to chemical attacks due to its non-polar nature, like high molecular weight hydrocarbons. PE cannot be corroded, abraded, or have its mechanical strength reduced by chemical or electrical reactions.
PE shows high chemical resistance to acids, alkaline solutions, solvents, alcohol, and water, and low chemical resistance to oxidized acids, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The degree of chemical resistance depends on the concentration of the chemical, the temperature, and the operating pressure, and these three properties also determine the lifespan of the pipe.

A: High Strength

B: Limited Strength

C: Not Durable
