Can you repost it in here? I agree that we won't get anywhere unless someone does some real testing. The problem is that most of us do not have the gear to do it properly.rezaxis wrote:A couple months ago I posted an outline of an experiment that would prove if any given material (plastic in this case) in the vapor stream added anything to the distillate.
Would somebody with the means just step up and perform it already!
This kind of posting just divides everybody and provides no solutions.

We need to remember that resistance to ethyl acetate and propyl compounds should also be tested as they are present during distillation process. Maybe methanol and butyl compounds as well although their amount is quite low. Actually based on my inadequate tests I'd say that it's either hot propanol or butanol that causes problems with some PP brands.
