This study analyzes seven different engineering thermoplastics for their potential applicability in buffer tube applications. The products tested are defined below.A. PolycarbonateB. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) /PC (Polycarbonate) AlloyC. PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide) AlloyD. Competitive PBTE. Competitive PBTF. PBTG. PBTRheology, dynamic mechanical analysis, CTE, and tensile properties were compared on all materials. Hydolytic stability was tested at 60 C, 80 C, and 100 C (submersed) and chemical resistant in mineral oil based standard filling gel at 80 C were conducted on extruded films.
