Chemical Resistance Chart

Chemical Resistance 

The following pages detail the performance of Rubbermaid plastics when exposed to chemicals. The first table 

generalizes performance with respect to broad chemical families. The remaining tables detail recommendations for 

use in exposure to specific chemicals. 

Explanation of ratings 

E EXCELLENT – The plastic was unaffected in any way for the duration of the test. 

G GOOD – A very slight clouding or discoloration took place. Expected life – months to years. 

F FAIR – Moderate effect. Slight etching, some discoloration, possibly some dimensional changes or 

weight change. Expected life – weeks to months. 

P POOR – Considerable change. Expected life – days. 

N NOT RECOMMENDED – Severe attack. Plastic became soft in a few hours, and was unusable 

within a few days or by end of test.
