This can be primarily attributed to differences in the solubility parameters of the primary solvent/stress cracking agent and the polymer itself.
It can be seen that the PC/ABS and PC/PET samples failed to survive the disinfectant exposure and produce a testable sample.
With regards to PC alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS < PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on previous research and the marketing literature of PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR performance against the household cleaners.

Color is reflective light.
Eventually, the color blocks enough light that it appears to be the correct color when viewed by eye.
The unfortunate twist to this solution is that different color ways need custom print parameters to achieve satisfactory results.
