I can't find a chemical compatibility chart for AES plastic. I'm trying to see if/how it will be affected by the chemicals below (Caviwipes).

Isopropanol (17.2%)
Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (2- Butoxyethanol)(1-5%)
Diisobutylphenoxyethoxyethyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (0.28%)

I would look at compatibility charts for styrene, which is the weakest component of the system, or look at similar styrenic copolymers like SAN, ABS etc. The two alcohols are going to be the biggest problem. You probably need to try and get a sample so you can evaluate.
