$ Mild attack - aqueous 1% & 5% at ambient temperature
$ Water - accelerates corrosion $ At 40°C - Butyl Rubber is resistant $ At 70°C - Butyl Rubber is not resistant * Coat glass with Clear Shield
ND No Data 1. Varies with agitation and presence of Nitrogen Oxide
2. Alum/SS304: Not resistant when Sulphur Dioxide is wet
Industrial luminaires are manufactured in a veriety of materials, each specifically selected as being
the most resistant to chemical corrosion & other related elements. The resistance tables give a gen- eral overview regarding the resistance to chemical attack on luminaire materials and is applicable
for ambient temperatures of up to 60%.
