KEY AND INTERPRETATION
Test bars of unfilled PEEK were immersed in chemicals at constant temperature for a minimum of 7 days (concentrated, unless otherwise stated). Chemical compatibility was assessed via retention of mechanical properties, supplemented by weight or dimensional changes when applicable. Compatibility was then classified into A, B, or C which should be interpreted as follows:
A - No interaction. Victrex materials are likely to operate in these chemicals. It is nevertheless recommended to validate the application performance.
B - Slight interaction. Victrex materials could be used in some applications exposed to these chemicals. It is necessary to evaluate the application specific performance criteria.
C - Severe interaction. Victrex materials should only be considered for applications with exposure to these chemicals under exceptional circumstances.
