Re: Lexan lip BROKE!

I was surprised at how many different grades of polycarbonate there are. This is a list of compounds that can damage polycarbonate:
  • Acetone
  • Acrylonitrile
  • Ammonia
  • Amyl acetate
  • Benzene
  • Bromine
  • Butyl acetate
  • Sodium hydroxide
  • Chloroform
  • Dimethylformamide
  • Concentrated hydrochloric acid
  • Concentrated hydrofluoric acid
  • Iodine
  • Methanol
  • Methyl ethyl ketone
  • Styrene
  • Tetrachloroethylene
  • Toluene
  • Concentrated sulfuric acid
  • Xylene
  • Cyanoacrylate monomers

At temperatures above 60 °C hydrolysis can occur, degrading the plastic. Degradation depends on time and temperature. Using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and other alkali cleaners on polycarbonate are not recommended as they cause the release of bisphenol A, a known endocrine disrupter. Alcohol is one recommended organic solvent for cleaning grease and oils from polycarbonate.
