Chemical resistance
Backer-Lite is resistant to all chemicals, to which it can be exposed,
in normal building construction.
A small number of aggressive chemicals (e.g. solvents), in large concentrations, can to some extent attack Backer-Lite during
prolonged exposure. For special applications, the supplier should be contacted, with a view to assessing necessary action.
The recognized standards and regulations of technology must be observed. Previous data sheets are invalid.
