Isn't it the Polypropylene ones that flake apart? And the Polycarbonate ones that stay looking good and sturdy? Quote

james.wilson Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Polyprop was poor but yes polycarb is good. Back then it was self cert/true its a bit different now Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Back then it was self cert/true its a bit different now If I vacuum formed my own cover for a CQR Multibox, I would worry that it would end up bulging and flaking away @al-yeti @james.wilson Red one at the top is Polycarb I think bit the bottom one lost all of its colour and is bulging out at the sides polypropylene, lots more polypropylene around me, all flaking apart Quote

The odyssey was polycarbonate, some age better than others (the sun / variable quality of the plastics?) 52 minutes ago, Gabs said: CQR C-Type, the little tag on the bottom edge says "polycarbonate" Quote Mr Veritas God
Gabs Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 Yeah, I am guessing that they were injection moulded. I wonder if CQR still have the tooling for them? Probs cost a lot to make/have made, with them being so big. Maybe that Odyssey was. on a South-Facing wall, so therefore it would have had a lot more sun than one on a North-Facing Wall Quote
