Is there anyone out there with a chemistry background with an opinion on this? Comes now http://www.coleparmer.com/techinfo/ChemComp.asp and witnesseth: The Material Selected Polycarbonate Interacting with the Chemical Diesel Fuel Has a Compatibility Level of A-Excellent I would suggest you put samples (including thin shavings) of your plastic in a capped Mason jar of diesel fuel starting now, as a test. Have a look in another few weeks or months. Polycarbonate is the usual item for machine tool safety shields, where it is constantly sprayed with hot hydrocarbon oils. Seems like I've heard something about oils embrittling polycarbonate. |
