Chemical Resistance/Environmental Fluid Resistance P.E.T. fibers are resistant to and will not show substantial loss of properties during or after 30 days immersion at 73F/23C in the following fluids; Water - Transmission Fluid - Salt Water Aviation (Jet) Fluid - Gasoline Ethylene Glycol - Motor Oil, Hydraulic Fluid - Hydrocarbon Solvents commonly used to clean electrical and electronic equipment. P. E. T. fibers will not degrade in UV light. They will retain their properties in temperatures from 125C to -70C per U.L. test methods
