This overview shows the chemical resistance of LEXAN® polycarbonate in KL cases and TERBLEND N® ABS/PA in CL cases. Chemical compatibility depends on contact time, temperature and stress (external stress to which the application is subjected). Chemical exposure may result in discoloration, softening, swelling, cracking, cracking or loss of material properties. The chemicals listed have been evaluated according to a very rigorous testing method. This test incorporates exposure to the chemical under defined conditions, including temperature (20ºC and 80ºC) and stress (0.5% and 1% strain) for a period of seven days.
Key to performance:
(-) Bad not recommended; will result in failure or serious degradation.
(0) Regular, considered marginal; only for short exposures to lower temperatures or when loss of properties is not critical.
(+) Good, not being affected in its performance when exposed to time, temperature and stress according to the test method mentioned above.
