This data represents average values NOT Minimums. Safety factors must be added in to the design.
High-density polyethylene has a high
resistance to most acids and chemicals. Bedford
Plastic Lumber is not affected by exposure to most Substances.
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.
