Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
Some polymers are susceptible to degradation when exposed to certain classes of chemicals and types of radiation.
When selecting an appropriate long fiber composite, verify that the matrix resin is compatible with the intended usage environment and operating conditions your application will be used in, even if it’s intermittent exposure, to ensure compatibility with life cycle expectations.

ATO is only used as an industrial intermediate in manufacturing locations
designed for the handling of plastics and chemicals.
Since the products made from ATO that are covered by this
summary are industrial chemicals, the consumer is unlikely to come into contact with these products.
It is a
chemical that has been highly scrutinized by a number of regulatory bodies globally and found to be safe when
used in its intended applications.
