Interesting update on "crappy" repro fan shrouds

Hi Bill (gtx6970),

Thank you for your reply and great customer service.

It is obvious to me that you have been trying to get the plastic formulated correctly. I am a degreed chemist and have been working as an analytical/polymer chemist for 25 years. Just out of professional curiosity would you mind answering a few questions regarding the development of your shroud product?

1. Did you ever have an original shroud material analyzed to find out its polymer base and its additives?

2. Are you able to get the same plastic material today?

3. Some environmental laws now force plastic parts fabricators to change casting techinques/formulations that were used 40 years ago. Is this the case for your business?

4. Has the newer formula plastic, rated for 350 degrees, resulted in an increase in the cost of your raw material and final product? (I imagine it would and I ask this question so that your customers on this thread appreciate your customer service.)

Thanks,

Art
