When used in machining or manufacturing processes, these chemicals can become airborne and reach fixtures indirectly. Chemical exposure to critical components may reduce their reliability, resulting in a possible electrical or mechanical failure of the data in the tables provided is based on legacy testing of raw plastic Material samples done by, and field data compiled by, suppliers and is not intended to be all-inclusive.

2 Using any of the listed sockets and acrylic components in an environment in which chemicals listed as Not Compatible may be present will void the warranty for the product containing the components at issue. Other than as expressly set forth herein, Cooper Lighting makes no other representation regarding the listed chemicals or their relationship to our products and expressly disclaims any and all other warranties, whether express or implied, other than those expressly set forth herein and in our terms and conditions of sale respecting our productsIf plastic components exhibit signs of damage, including, without limitation, cracking or crazing, the product containing such components must be replaced immediately.

3 Prior to selecting a replacement product, all chemical interactions should be reviewed or tested for the specific application.
