2. Definition of Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) Environmental stress cracking (ESC) in plastics means the failure at about room temperature due to continuously acting external and/or internal stresses in the presence of surface active substances (known as stress cracking agents) such as alcohols, soaps, dyes, agents containing moisture.[1, 2, 6, 7] Although ESC results from the interaction of the polymer with certain chemicals...
