| 1. | Factors such as stress cracking and erosion shorten the duration.
|
| 2. | The flammability of fuel makes stress cracking a possible cause of catastrophic failure.
|
| 3. | The problem is known as environmental stress cracking.
|
| 4. | ASA can be glued with cyanoacrylates; uncured resin can however cause stress cracking.
|
| 5. | It is somewhat different from polymer degradation in that stress cracking does not break polymer bonds.
|
| 6. | Early-body Adventurers seem somewhat less prone to the stress cracking common with earlier painted head bodies.
|
| 7. | Environmental stress cracking may account for around 15-30 % of all plastic component failures in service.
|
| 8. | These pre-existing cracks initiated in areas of hard microstructure known to be susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking.
|
| 9. | Like most other amorphous thermoplastics, Noryl is sensitive to environmental stress cracking when in contact with many organic liquids.
|
| 10. | Compared to polycarbonate, ASA has higher resistance to environmental stress cracking, and exhibits higher yellowing in outdoor applications.
