Can you or do you know someone that can identify the grade of plastic we have some product made from. We have a cracking problem with some new parts and we are not convinced that a new supplier has been using the correct material. Thanks Kevin.

Contact either Bodycote or Loughborough University IPTME (both have websites). They will be able to anaylse the material for you.

Alternative to these is Impact Labs (formerly the R&D and testing facility for BP Chemicals) - they are THE plastic material experts. Try Ian Vallance on 01324 489182
