www.gtweed.com 11 LEGEND 1 - No attack, possibly slight absorption. Negligible effect on mechanical properties. 2 - Slight attack by absorption. Some swelling and a small reduction in mechanical properties likely. May limit load bearing capabilities under tension. 3 - Moderate attack or appreciable absorption. Material may have limited life. Applications involving tensile stress not recommended. 4 - Material will dissolve or suffer chemical attack in a short time. Conc. - Concentrated Aqueous Solution Sat. - Saturated Aqueous Solution
