That's not enough, but it would a good start ;)<br /><br />A confounding factor in the analysis could be that people are searching for polycarbonate quite a bit these days because of the BPA scare. That would keep the searchs for "polycarbonate" up while other one are dropping. I just don't have a good explanation as to why they (both brandnames) would be dropping. That they both are is the more intriguing question than how they are dropping relative to the generic name.<br /><br />Other thoughts on branding: Plexiglas in my mind has become more and more generic all the time, and I don't think I'm alone (see this post at <a href="http://rheolworld.blogspot.com/2010/06/plastics-anecdote.html" rel="nofollow">The Rheol World</a>. As his story illustrates, a brand name going generic happens with non-industrial consumers [*]. I don't think Lexan ever caught on as much with consumers. I also am not sure that most people could tell the difference if you give them a piece - they both are clear and somewhat flexible.<br /><br />I wish someone could explain to me the situation with Mylar. To all but the few people who process PET (and lots of people at DuPont), Mylar means an aluminum vapor coated PET film. Mylar is actually DuPont's brandname for PET film, vapor coated or otherwise, and yet most people only thick of the shiny one. Why?<br /><br />So there you have my thoughts. It's a messy subject I would be curious to see others thoughts.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412324900423436763noreply@blogger.com
