The Madison Group invites you to their event
About this event
Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is the leading cause of plastic component failure. If you deal with plastic components, then “Environmental Stress Cracking - The Plastic Killer” will provide you with information that will enhance your understanding of the interaction between chemicals and plastics, with the goal of preventing part failure. ESC is a solvent-induced failure mode in which a plastics crack through contact with a chemical agent while under stress.
At the end of this presentation you will:
Directly following this event we will host a live Q&A session for up to 30 minutes to cover ESC related questions.
