It can be seen that the PC/ABS and PC/PET samples failed to survive the disinfectant exposure and produce a testable sample.
Due to the higher cost position of copolyester, it was substituted for PC/PBT in the consumer disinfectant testing.
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.

TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various rigid substrates i.e.
Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys Introduction A wide variety of thermoplastic materials are used to make molded products.
The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys.
