Which type of plastic should be used with organic solvents and acids, polyethylene or polypropylene?

  • Polypropylene is very resistant to most solvents and acids.
  • Polyethylene has a higher resistance to most chemicals. 


Therefore, it depends on the chemical used so the customer must validate with a chemical resistance chart.
