This data represents average values NOT Minimums. Safety factors must be added in to the design.

 

Chemical Resistance

High-density polyethylene has a high resistance to most acids and chemicals.  Bedford Plastic Lumber is not affected by exposure to most Substances.

 

Ultraviolet Weathering

An ultraviolet stabilizer is incorporated at the time of manufacture. It protects the plastic from ultraviolet light degradation and ensures that the outside of the product will not degrade in exterior applications.
