A database of the stabilities of plastics in liquid media designed to assist planners with the selection of appropriate polymer materials. The database contains qualitative and quantitative information on chemical resistivities and storage characteristics in media of varying concentration and at various temperatures and storage times. Storage-related changes in plastic behaviour are quantitatively characterised by twenty-four different properties. 

Data are retrieved via search masks based on individually selected criteria in the form of ranges of values or texts; results are obtained either as data tables or as text-compatible data files. An author editor is also available for customising the database with the user's own data. 

Reference terms: resistivity of plastics, curable plastics, thermoplastics.
