I've been having an issue with materials degrading when submerged for long periods of time in heated chlorinated water. I'm searching for a plastic that would be optimal for continuous submersion in 150 degree chlorinated water. I can work on the injection molding process as I go, but right now I need to locate the most optimal raw resin. Any direction from anyone knowledgeable in this topic would be greatly appreciated. I'm branching out from a career based exclusively in the use of PPE, to a career utilizing any and all resins.

You can find chemical resistance charts for all plastics via a Google search. RTP and others have them online for free. There are also books on the topic with more detailed information.
