Chemical Resistance
Filaments are resistant to a wide range of solvents and chemical solutions. Hydrocarbons and solvents have no effect on them. Aqueous solutions of most chemicals, including alkalies such as lye, have no effect other than temporary effect of the water itself on the stiffness of the filament. Some acids will attack nylon, but weak solutions act very slowly and filaments may have acceptable operating life.
