High Resistance
Good resistance ; no, or only minor damage resulting from exposures of more than 30 days. Marginal resistance ; for some types of plastic, extended exposure can result in damage (hairline cracks, loss of mechanical strength, discoloration, etc...)
D
Non-resustant : exposure can lead to deformation or destruction
