3 Plastic will absorb heat.
4 STERILISATION
a). Autoclaving (121 C, 15psig for 20 minutes)- clean and rise items with distilled water before autoclaving. (Always completely disengage threads before autoclaving) Certain chemicals which have no appreciable effect on resins at room temperature may cause deterioration at autocalving temperatures unless removed with distilled water beforehand
b). Gas- Ethylene Oxide, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide
c). Dry Heat ( 160 C, 120 minutes)
d). Disinfectants-Benzalkonium chloride, formalin/formaldehyde, ethanol etc
e). Radiation-gamma irradiation at 25 kGy ( 2.5 MRad) with unstabilized plastic.
5. Sterilisation reduces mechanical strength. Do not use PC vessels for vacuum applications if they have been autoclaved.


CLEANING OF SONAR & VOLEX PLASTICWARE

• Plasticware may be cleaned by washing in mild detergent. Detergent should be rinsed off with tap water and then with     distilled water.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners of scouring implements. Polycarbonate must not be exposed to strong alkaline cleaning agents.

E 30 days of constant exposure cause no damage. Plastic may even tolerate for years.
F Little or no damage after 30 days of constant exposure to the reagent.
G Some effect after 7 days of constant exposure to the reagent. Depending on the plastic, the effort may be crazing,cracking, loss of strength or discoloration. Solvents may cause softening, swelling and permeation losses with LDPE, HDPE ,PP, PPCO and PMP. The solvent effects on these five resins are normally reversible, the part will usually return to its normal condition after evaporation.
N Not recommended for continuous use, Immediate damage may occur. Depending on the plastic, the effect will be a more severe crazing, cracking, loss of strength, discoloration, deformation, dissolution or permeation loss.
