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

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" Mr Veritas God Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/11/#findComment-484183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabs Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42729-start-an-alarm-manufacturer/page/11/#findComment-484184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
