Plastic degradation near sea when assembled with metal part
Plastic degradation near sea when assembled with metal part
(OP)
Hi, I noticed the plastics are likely to degrade easier/quicker near sea (or in sea water) when it is in contact with metals. I feel there are some electrochemical activities going on. Can anyone help me understand this phenomenon, and is there any literature discussing it?
Thanks!
The plastic is molded before assemble with the metal part.

Yes nylon66 is one of our plastic parts that had this issue.
Which types of polyamide is resistant? pa12? because of how it is polymerized?
I assume fluoropolymers are immune to this mechanism?
Thanks.
