    Aging a PBT-10%glass material

    To simulate ageing and degradation of a plastic material PBT containing 10% of glass in the lab, I am trying to run humidity, wetting, and drying processes. From samples gathered from the field this material have had cracks appearing in the finished assemblies. This material is suspected to...

    Aluminum T6 Limitations?

    I'm planning to use aluminum (Grade 6061 T6 / 6082 T6) for low temperature equipment skids (-20 to -40 degC). Are there any recommendation / limitation for these materials at such low temperatures (resilience...) ? Thanks and regards,

    Are the PS gobelets dangerous for the health?

    I never used them. Now, I must prepare a safety meeting and explain to my collegues that those cups are harmful, but I did not have enough information.

    Are the PS gobelets dangerous for the health?

    I agree with all of you, not all cups have the similar behavior. Actually, I dont know the composition of the cups, I only know that they are used daily by all employees in the company where I work.They add boiling water and the cups become deformed. These cups are like ones used for drinking...

    Are the PS gobelets dangerous for the health?

    I would like to obtain some information about the hazards related to the use of PS (polystyrene) cups or gobelets for hot drinks.These cups are deformed when we add a warm water (temperature above 90deg C).
