In order to benchmark the relative ESCR
performance of the materials tested, an adaptation
to the ASTM D543 method was used.
Adapted ASTM D543 testing with Virex® TB.
Due to the higher cost position of
copolyester, it was substituted for PC/PBT in the
consumer disinfectant testing.

TEST METHODS
Stain Test - Condition 1: Tea, coffee, ketchup,
mustard stand on the surface for 2 minutes at room
temperature, then removed to observe the surface
performance.
UV Resistance Test - 0.68W/m2 @ 45°C expose
168 hours
Anti-abrasion Test - H18 wheel load 1kg @
500 cycles
Surface/Non-blooming - Visual observation
Touch Feel - Hand touch
Mechanical Properties - Refer to hardness, gravity,
tensile strength, elongation, MFI, and flexural
modulus, which are tested using ASTM methods
Processing - Demold speed & cycle time
TEST RESULTS
Comprehensively, the Versaflex CE 3130
non-blooming series performed better than
competitive materials in balancing functional
properties and processing.
