Environmental Stress Cracking in Packaging: Causes, Analysis, and Prevention
.jpg)
Presentation
Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) is one of the most common causes of failure in plastic materials, particularly in applications where they are exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
This webinar is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms behind ESC, as well as strategies for identifying, analyzing, with some tips to help the ESC prevention.
Participants will explore how environmental stress cracking (ESC) factors can lead to the premature failure of plastic products like packaging. The course will also cover case studies, testing methods, and industry best practices that help in preventing ESC in packaging.
