Can ABS withstand being submerged underwater 24/7?

ABS will work, it's water resistant and very durable.

Nylon is made by a condensing reaction, that is a water molecule is split off to join two monomers together to form an amide bond. With the help of a water molecule that reaction can be reversed to split in into the monomers again.

I have also seen this with parts printed at Shapeways in nylon - in water they swell up and deform over time.
Practically, do you know how much the nylon will degrade and over what timespan?

We, NANODAX , has announced glass wool filled PP filament which is really usable

The filament is going to be put into market end of SEP if everything goes well.

How high temperature can the printed parts withstand? I am looking for a solvent-resistant filament that can withstand at least 130 C (preferably up to 140-160 C).....
