SUMMARY:Environmental Stress Cracking: The Plastic Killer
DESCRIPTION:Find out more here \nIf you deal with plastic components\, then “Environmental Stress Cracking of Plastics” will provide you with information that will enhance your understanding of the interaction between chemicals and plastic resins\, and help prevent premature failure. Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is a phenomenon in which a plastic resin undergoes premature embrittlement and subsequent cracking due to the simultaneous and synergistic action of stress and contact with a chemical agent. ESC is a leading cause of plastic component failure\, and a recent study suggests that 25% of plastic part failures are related to ESC. \nThe webinar will be presented from a practical viewpoint with actual case studies to illustrate the ESC mechanism and explain plastic performance. Topics covered during this session include: \n\nIntroduction to ESC\nHow plastics fail\nExplanation of the ESC failure mechanism\nGeneralizations related to chemical interaction with plastics\nESC resistance testing used to evaluate plastic/chemical compatibility\nCase Illustrations of some common solvent-based failure modes
