Chart of Plastic Resistances to Chemicals
Found this great chart for a quick reference on how resistant certain plastics are vs common chemicals:
http://www.tedpella.com/company_html/PlasticsChemResistance....
Hopefully it's useful for others out there as well.

Here is another chart I scanned a while back from a catalog, in case it is of use.

The Alfa Aesar catalogue can easily be ordered and shipped to individuals, free of charge. It too has a very wide variety of information which is very
useful in the lab, including a large section listing very detailed properties of many/most of the elements, a compilation of CAS numbers, full lists
of R and S statements, conversion charts for a huge varitety of units for many different measurements, chemical bond length data, tables of multiples
of element weights, chemical shift data for NMR spectra, a table of different heating and cooling baths and their maximum/minimum temperatures, metal
compositions of common electroplating salts, average bond energies/strengths, and many, many more. It is also perfect for looking up structures
quickly, especially for some of the more unusual compounds which the internet may not have reputable data/information for.
It is an invaluable tool for any chemist and I would strongly recommend everyone orders one for free from Alfa.

Is that catalog available to all countries? If so do you have a link to order?

The one I am referring to is the first one, the blue "2013-2015 Catalog". I filled in all my details, just giving "JA Laboratories" (my initials) as
the company name. My catalog arrived a few weeks later, in a lovely Alfa Aesar box.
I can only assume it is available in all countries, but I had no issues at all having it delivered here in the UK.

Absolutely! Did they send you a Canadian dollars version? I got a GBP edition, which is nice, as many international companies may only give their
catalog prices in USD.

It was the CAD version- actually while on the topic of catalogs, Cole-Parmer will send samples of all their tubings (3 inch pieces) for chemical
resistance testing. You just need to go to the catalog request section of their site and do the same thing with a company name. Pretty neat!

Do you know which tubings they send? What materials? I've sent an "order" for them

Oh gee... Off the top of my head I don't remember- There were quite a few varieties of silicon, one for petrochemicals and a few others

Oh I love the direction this thread is going! Does anyone have any other free sample/catalog type information? I have just ordered what has been
discussed so far also. Thank you all! I ordered a sigma catalog as well, not like it will do me any good other than fuel my dreams.

I got a free 250 mL Azlon beaker and 250 mL Azlon wash bottle plus two lab posters from scilabware.com a few years back. Don't know if they still do
that. I too have a buttload of catalogs from Fisher, Carl Roth, Acros, Alfa and others. They look good and make excellent labjacks...

I was just going to mention that!
http://www.scilabware.com/
I also got their free labware (250 mL Azlon beaker and 250 mL Azlon iPrOH wash bottle), posters (very informative - one was on plastics resistances'
to various solvents and reagents, and the other on glassware heating, safety and maintenance) and their glassware catalog, which is excellent
nerd-porn and very useful when you aren't sure what something is.

Common PET vials or bottles are attacked by aqueous lime so that fissures causes the liquid to leak, as observed by personal experience.
