ChemRes

The ChemRes module ranks filled and unfilled plastics in the MaterialUniverse data module for resistance to a remarkable array of over 190 different chemical and solvent environments - everything from nitric acid to olive oil. Rankings are based on original tests by the Rubber and Plastics Research Association (Rapra Technology Ltd).

Who uses it and why?

ChemRes is recommended for engineers and designers with plastics selection applications where chemical resistance is important.

ChemRes can easily save time and money in design with plastics. With minimal effort, it lets you screen out inappropriate materials and alerts you to potential problems or weaknesses in a design.

Selecting polymers based on their resistance to different chemicals

The ChemRes module enables selection of the polymers based on their resistance to over 190 different chemicals.
