Chemical Resistance of Polypropylene and Polyethylene
Generally speaking, the chemical resistance of polypropylene and polyethylene is considered superior to that of metals. They are unaffected by most inorganic acids, alkalis, and aqueous solutions which rapidly corrode metals, although
some concentrated acids and oxidizing agents can attack them, especially at elevated temperatures.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This data refers to drainage systems usage only.
