Chemical Resistance – Sugoi Enterprises

These chemical and environmental resistance ratings for thermoplastics are provided for comparison purposes only. No assurance can be implied that any SUGOI Enterprises compound will meet the ratings listed. End users should conduct their own evaluation of SUGOI Enterprises compounds to ensure satisfactory compatibility with any environmental or physical conditions to which they may be exposed.

Key:

E — Excellent
