1 Chemical Compatibility Guide for: ow Density Polyethylene Products NOTICE: This report is offered as a guide and was developed from information which, to the best of New Pig Corporation s knowledge, was reliable and accurate. Due to variables and conditions of application beyond New Pig Corporation s control, none of the data shown in this guide is to be construed as a guarantee, expressed, or implied. New Pig Corporation assumes no responsibility, obligation, or liability in conjunction with the use or misuse of the information. This listing was prepared to provide guidance to the chemical compatibility of New Pig Corporation containment pallets and decks, containers and other polyethylene products. Polyethylene is susceptible to some chemicals. These chemicals may cause stress cracking, swelling, oxidation, or may permeate the polyethylene. These actions may reduce the physical properties of polyethylene containers. Stress cracking: Some surface-active chemicals can accelerate the cracking of polyethylene when it is under stress. Absorption / Swelling: Certain types of chemicals will absorb or swell polyethylene to varying degrees. In some cases, a loss of physical properties may occur. Use of chemicals that may affect polyethylene in this manner will depend upon the performance requirements of the application. Oxidation: Some aqueous solution of materials with an oxidizing action will attack polyethylene. Short-term containment of these chemicals may not significantly affect the polyethylene. However, long-term storage of high temperature chemicals should be approached with caution.

S = These substances may adversely affect the polyethylene. New Pig Corporation containers may be suitable for storage of up to one year. The user should perform qualification tests before or during usage of the container. N = These substances aggressively attack polyethylene or have vapor pressures incompatible with the containers. Do not use polyethylene containers in these applications. Note: Use judgment as to use of product. Is it for short or long term use when using, S, or N? (Example: Drum Funnel is normally for short term use.) ast Revised 5/2/2008 Page 5 of 6
