    Heat Resistance of Poly and Trivex

    Can anyone tell me the temperature these materials melt at. We have a safety account that is a foundry and they want to know.

    See here for Poly: http://www.redwoodplastics.com/files...ycarbonate.pdf

    I can't find a MSDS for Trivex though.
    Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to chucking a lensometer across the lab.

    Polycarbonate's melting point is 300oC according to wikipedia. Trivex is thermosetting so it won't melt but I suspect it will burn and coationgs will craze at high temperatures.
