The chemical resistance and direct contact properties of polymers

The chemical resistance properties of   polymers translate in to compatibility with packaged products and their suitability for use in direct contact with almost any product, especially food and healthcare products as well as other products like personal care products that are used  in  direct  human  contact.  Polymerase usually inert and do not deteriorate or react with the vast majority of aggressive or reactive ingredients in packaged products like acids, alkalis, oils, fats, industrial and  household  chemicals and  the  like. No other basic packaging material can match this capability except g lass. Chemical resistance and compatibility for direct contact One of the most critical property requirements of basic packaging materials is whether they can be used in direct contact with the packaged product over the entire duration of the shelf - life and use of the product. They should not interact with or contaminate the contents of   the package.
