Non chlorinated fresh water. Extended period being 20- 30 years

RE: Injection molded acrylic and water submersion

Yes.

Cast or injection moulded makes little difference to hydrolysis resistance at room temperature.

Cast acrylic is commonly used in bath tubs.

Extruded acrylic is commonly used on roof sheeting.

Cast acrylic is sometimes used as fish tanks.

Cast and extruded acrylics are commony used in outdoor signs.

Cast and extruded and injection moulded acrylic are extensively used on automotive and aircraft and marine exterior components like lights and windows and weather shields and headlight protecrors.
