(OP)
Hi! A small question about lubricants:
Is there any incompatibility between metalic stearates (zing e.g.) and PC/ABS? If so, which would be the correct lubricant?

RE: Lubricants
Compatibility with some colour pigments may be an issue but I suspect very remote.

RE: Lubricants
But now, the end product shows some strech marks that dissapeared with the substitution of the stearate (metallic for an amide). I see several references for "ester-vulnerable polymers such as PA, PC and ABS" but I'm still looking for the reason.
RE: Lubricants
I am about 90% sure it has been used with PC.

The fact is that the substitution of zinc stearate for an amide stearate solved completely the problem. The reason behind is still to be found.
