Dear Christian
Many thanks for pointing out that useful resource. I hadn't checked it.
Sadly CYCOLACT doesn't appear to have been part of their testing.
Much appreciated

Dear Teresa,
Have you checked the British Museum's database (Selection of Materials for
the Storage or Display of Museum Objects (Oddy test)) to see if it has been
tested:

To the NHColl conservation gurus
Is it acceptable to use trays made of CYCOLACT, which is a Modified Poly
(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) [CASRN 9010-94-0]/Poly
(styrene-acrylonitrile) [CASRN 9003-54-7] blend, in a collection of mammal
specimens (dry skins and skeletal elements)?
I've attached the product sheet if you wish to know any more details.
Much appreciated
