Glass Fibre stress cracking
Problem Phenomenon
Glass Fibre product under stress+chemical action cracking time <100h
Cause Analysis
Glass Fibre molecular chains under stress are attacked accelerated by chemicals; environmental stress cracking is a typical failure mode of polyolefins
Solution
1) Reduce product internal stress by annealing treatment; 2) select high molecular weight Glass Fibre to improve ESC resistance; 3) avoid contact with aggressive chemicals
Key Takeaway
Stress cracking is caused by stress-accelerated chemical attack; annealing and high MW are key
