General information: Chemical resistance of plastics Since some of our luminaires are made of plastic materials, their resistance against chemical products may be limited or even nil. Consult this list before using aggressive detergents, disinfectants or installing the luminaire in chemical hazardous areas (as cars washes, swimming pools, industrial kitchens, industrial laundries, slaughterhouses, stables, cultivation farms, etc ...) or in case of doubt, please contact us. For these conditions, appropriate products (like stainless steel clips, etc...) are available. ACIDS Acetic (max 30%) Hydrochloric (max 20%) Nitric (max 20%) Sulphuric (max 50%) Phosphoric (max 30%) Hydrobomic Accumulator Acid BASES (Weak) Ammonia (max 25%) BASES (Concentrated) Ammonia (max 50%) Sodium Hydroxide (max 45%) SALT SOLUTIONS Common Salt Metal Salt Soda HYDROCARBONS Aliphatic - Parafins +/- Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide +/- CHLORIDE HYDROCARBONS Carbon Tetrachloride - ALCOHOLS Up to 30 % Concentrated Methanol, Ethanol Phenol ETHERS Ether Petroleum Ether AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS Aniline Benzene and derivates Hydrogen Peroxide Xylene OILS and FATS Petrol, Kerosine Mineral oil Vegetable oils (hot) Cooking fats (hot) UNSATURATED CHLORIDE HYDROCARBONS Chloroform + = Resistant / +/- = Limited resistant / - = Not resistant * : In case of limited resistance to corrosion (+/-) the use of Polycarbonate clips is not allowed.
