INTRODUCTION TO THE CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF QUADRANT EPP’S STOCK SHAPES

Dear reader, For example PC 1000, PEI 1000, PSU 1000 and PPSU In this brochure we present you with an extensive list of 1000, because of their amorphous chemical structure, chemical resistance data for the Quadrant “General are sensitive to “stress cracking” when in contact with Purpose and Advanced Engineering Plastic polar organic solvents. Environments, which are Products”. This information will without doubt be a completely harmless to unstressed parts, may cause helpful tool when selecting the most suitable plastics stress cracking when in contact with stressed parts (e.g. material for your application. isopropyl alcohol in contact with PSU 1000). Not only the externally applied load is of importance but also the In Table I you will find four hundred of the most internal stress level plays a big role. Although Quadrant commonly used chemical products, which are listed at Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) stock different concentrations and temperatures. Even if the shapes are annealed using a proprietary stress-relieving chemical you are dealing with is not ﬁguring in Table I, cycle to minimise any internal stresses resulting from the further tables are included to allow you to get an idea manufacturing process, some stresses may remain and about the resistance of the plastic materials against this new ones may be induced during machining. Therefore, chemical after all. in certain cases thermal treatment (stress relieving) of the plastic parts during or after machining may be Many chemicals are known under different names. necessary in order to keep the internal stress level and Besides the most commonly used names you will also thus the risk on cracking as low as possible. ﬁnd the less used synonyms in table IV. It is important to note that this data is only of an Temperature, time of exposure, concentration of the indicative nature, derived from all sorts of literature reagents and stress level in the plastic parts all related to the chemical resistance of plastics. considerably effect the chemical resistance and Therefore, in practice it is strongly recommended consequently your material choice. carrying out tests on a prototype, to determine the final suitability of a plastics material for the application.

HOW TO USE THIS BROCHURE

Looking up a chemical product In Table I (pages 6 to 24) you will ﬁnd a summing up of alphabetical order, often at different concentrations and chemicals with the matching resistance ratings of the temperatures. Solutions are, unless otherwise stated, different Quadrant EPP stock shapes (no stress applied always aqueous. on the materials). The chemicals are given in

In many cases a short exposure may be considered allowable. C: Non-resistant.

Using RT: Room temperature (15 – 25°C). the material under these conditions is not recommended. O: Dissolves. The ratings are intended as a guide only, and not as an alternative to actual testing. Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products strongly recommends preliminary testing of the finished plastics part under actual service conditions, which represents the only method for evaluating ﬁnal suitability for use.

Looking up by means of the chemical formula If you find a chemical is not listed in Table I or there are these chemicals. This will give you an idea of the no ratings given for some of the plastic materials in Quadrant EPP stock shapes resistance to your specific contact with your specific reagent, even then it is often non-listed chemical. possible to get an idea of the chemical resistance based It should be clear, however, that the ratings found in this on the type of chemical product. way are of a very indicative nature only. It namely occurs Based on its structure you can classify the reagent into to see contradicting ratings for different representatives one of the chemical groups figuring in Table II on of the same chemical group. These differences can page 25: aldehydes, ketones, inorganic acids… Of mostly be attributed to variations in the molecular course, to do so, some chemistry knowledge is required. structure of the chemicals.

* The resistance ratings given for ERTALON/NYLATRON and KETRON PEEK are in first instance valid for the unreinforced grades. As far as the glass ﬁbre reinforced grades are concerned (ERTALON 66-GF30 and KETRON PEEK GF-30), it has to be noted that they are more affected by strong alkaline solutions than the virgin grades. Therefore, preliminary testing under actual service conditions is strongly recommended. ** The given ratings also apply to CESTICOLOR, CESTIDUR and CESTILITE.
