G—Little or no damage after 30 days of constant exposure. F—Some effect after seven days of constant exposure. Depending on the plastic, the effect may be cracking, crazing, loss of strength, or discoloration. Solvents may cause softening, swelling, and permeation losses with PPCO, the solvent LDPE, and HDPE; PMP, PP, effects on these materials are normally reversible. N—Not recommended for continuous use. Immediate damage may occur. Depending on the plastic, the effect will be severe cracking, crazing, loss of strength, discoloration, dissolution, or permeation loss.
