Polycarbonate Chemical Compatibility

• Chemically resistant to many acids, oxidizing / reducing agents, neutral and acid salt solutions, greases, oils, detergents, saturated, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols
• Polycarbonate features an extremely high melting point, around 288°C / 550°F
• Autoclavable
• As a thermoplastic, PC can be heated to its melting point, cooled, and reheated without significant degradation
• Superior impact resistance
• NOT compatible with methyl alcohol, acetone, ketones, ethers, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, aqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions, or ammonia gas
• NOT ideal for food storage at temperatures above 70° (can release BPA)

Explanation of Footnotes
^1. Satisfactory to 72°F (22°C)
^2. Satisfactory to 120°F (48°C)

Ratings: Chemical Effect
A = Excellent.
B = Good, Minor Effect, slight corrosion or discoloration
C = Fair, Moderate Effect, not recommended for continuous use. Softening, loss of strength, or swelling may occur.
D = Severe Effect, not recommended for ANY use.
N/A = Information not available.

CAUTION: Variations in chemical behavior during handling due to factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentrations can cause equipment to fail, even though it passed an initial test.
