us(ag)e in the presence of chemicals / when exposed to chemicals
Whilst I do see Vikki's point, I believe this more likely refers to the lifting gear itself, the material and its properties/specifications etc. (because of the temperature range mentioned in the same sentence). I'd even consider using "under chemical attack" but am not sure if this is taking things a bit too far.

: This isn't about a substance, it's about lifting gear. But it makes no sense in either case.
