Re: (ET) panels - materials besides steel ?

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I'm pretty sure that polypropylene and polyethylene are both highly 
resistant to sulfuric acid.

Some road EV hobbyists use angle iron frames that support the weight of 
the 
batteries, then make poly boxes to fit the frames and contain any spilled 
or 
seeped electrolyte.  Typical is sheet stock with plastic-welded corners.  
Various protections are used for the steel - powder coating, rubberized 
bedliner, epoxy bedliner, plain old paint frequently renewed, etc.  The 
poly 
liner minimizes acid contact with the frames, so protection is not quite 
as 
critical as it might be otherwise.
