Accounting for 25% or more of observed failures in the field, it is believed that ESC is the leading cause of plastic component failure.3 To better understand the environmental contribution of stress cracking, it is helpful to examine stress cracking in air (creep). When a chemical stress cracking agent diffuses into a polymer network it can increase the chain mobility and free volume of the system.
