Weathering resistance Slightly weakened and it turns into yellow Slightly weakened It is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, has poor impact and is easy to ageing. It will embrittle at temperatures below - 35°C. Aging resistance is poor, embrittlement temperature -70°C, easy photooxidation, thermal oxidation, ozone decomposition and degradation under ultraviolet irradiation.
Acid resistance 7% hydrochloric acid, 20% sulfuric acid,10% nitric acid strength has no effect,16% or more concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulfur Acid, concentrated nitric acid can be decomposed and dissolved. 35% hydrochloric acid, 75% sulfuric acid, 60% nitric acid has no effect on strength. Concentrated hydrochloric acid strongly concentrated sulfuric acid has little effect on its products. Resistance to hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, formic acid phosphate, etc. at room temperature. Nitric acid and sulfuric acid have strong destructive effects.
Alkaline resistance At room temperature, 50% caustic soda solution and 28% ammonia solution had no effect on its strength. At room temperature, 10% caustic sodium solution and 20% ammonia water had no effect on its strength, but when the concentration or temperature increased, it was destroyed. High purity sodium hydroxide and concentrated ammonia have little effect on strength. Amine-resistant, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and other chemical materials.
Chemical resistance Resistant Resistant Resistant Resistant
Solvent resistance It is insoluble in most organic solvents,but soluble in phenols (phenols,mcresol, etc.), formic acid,expanded in glacial acetic acid,and can be dissolved by heating. Insoluble alcohol,sky ether,acetone decomposition.It dissolves in ethane cyclohexanone, tetrachloride,lubricating oil, tetrahydronaphthalene,xyl ene and toluene when heated. When benzene is heated, it expands. Insoluble alcohol,sky ether,acetone decompositi on.It dissolves in ethane cyclohexanone, tetrachloride,lubricating oil, tetrahydronaphthalene,xyl ene and toluene when heated. When benzene is heated, it expands. It is insoluble in any known solvent at room temperature. It can be dissolved in toluene, amyl acetate, trichloroethylene and other solvents in a small amount at above 70 C. Mineral oils, vaseline, vegetable oils and fats can swell it and cause permanent local changes in its physical properties.
Dyeing resistance Acid dyes,disperse dyes ,reactive dyes,dyeable, good color fastness. Available dispersing dyes, naphthol dyes Dip or heating dye. Disperse dyes direct dyes Low temperature disperse dye, stock solution dyeing, methyl yellow dye
