Chemical Resistance

Spillages of any chemicals will not harm the Dycem material if removed immediately.  
The effects of longer exposure to chemicals are shown in the table below:

CHEMICAL	ONE HOUR RESISTANCE	TWENTY FOUR HOUR RESISTANCE
Esters (aliphatic)	negligible solvation	slight solvation
Ether	slight solvation	solvation may occur
Formaldehyde	resistant	resistant
Hibitane	resistant	resistant
Hydrochloric Acid (concentrated)	resistant	not resistant
Hydrogen Peroxide (30%)	resistant	resistant
Hyochlorites	resistant	possibly some
Ketones	slight solvation	solvation may occur
Methanol - See Alcohols
Nitric Acid (50%)	resistant	resistant
Oil (diesel)	resistant	slight embrittlement
Oil (mineral,vegetable)	resistant	slight embrittlement
Petroleum Spirit	resistant	slight embrittlement
Sulphuric Acid (50%)	resistant	resistant
Uric Acid	resistant	resistant
Water	resistant	resistant
