Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Roofing
English term or phrase: light chemical conditions
Sentence: "The product can withstand mild industrial fumes and light chemical conditions."

Context: this is a product description for an industrial roof coating. Information is targeting the French Canadian market.

Have been unable to find a reliable translation. My best guess is "conditions chimiques légères" ?? But would like a 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) opinion :)

faibles réactions chimiques


Explanation:
still an assumption based on my perception. Still, I believe cheval conditions refers to every reaction caused by the contact with any chemical product. Except the reaction is light in this case

Example sentence(s):
  • The whole sentence would be «le produit peut résister à...et à de faibles réactions chimiques»

neutral  Tony M: 'light' doesn't necessarily mean 'small quantity' — it could be drenched with mildly salty water, for example.
