Enviromental stress crack resistance (ESCR) analysis of blow moulded high density polyethylene (HDPE) containers exposed to surface active agents (PANOX 19)
ESCR properties of unimodal, bimodal and silane crosslinked bimodal HDPE were investigated as a function of PANOX 19(polyoxyethylated non-ylphenol ether), exposure times in range of 0-1080 hours at 80C in an accordance to the ASTM D2561-95 procedure B. Degradation changes in the three HDPE materials...
