Table of Resistance

+	resistant
-	not resistant
RT	room temperature (C 25°)

For any deviations with respect to temperature,
concentrations and purity of the listed media, technical
advice is to be sought from your MEA Office

Polymer concrete	MEA polymer concrete with polyester resin as a binding agent
GRP	Glass-fibre reinforced plastic

MEA polymer concrete with polyester resin as a binding agent
and GRP are resistant when subjected over short periods to
inorganic acids and subsequently rinsed with water
