For the materials tested, a variety of flame-retardant (FR) polycarbonate (PC) alloys, including blends with
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT),
were benchmarked against FR copolyester and the chemically resistant (CR) aliphatic polyketone (PK) blends
of the Trilliant HC8900 and Edgetek ET8900 series.
It can be
seen that the PC/ABS and
PC/PET samples failed to
survive the disinfectant
exposure and produce a
testable sample.
With regards to PC
alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical
resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS <
PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on
previous research and the marketing literature of
PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek
ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR
performance against the household cleaners.
