Have you ever wondered why there is a sticked thread to identify different runs of CE? Because it changed. In the < 2 years it was around it changed substantially from run to run. It may have had one common main ingredient, but the resulting plastics were different. So just saying something is "CE" doesn't really mean all of them are the same.If you take a Millennium CE disc and hand it to a random player, 75% will now know it is CE without reading the run number or seeing it printed on the disc. Same goes for tourney stamped CE discs.
Fingerprints are funny. I have a bunch of Pro plastic discs from '98-'00 that fingerprint. I don't think it means what you think it means.champ discs do not have the same grip as the early ones which fingerprint threeputt.
same with pro vs rpro
another idiot decision

I'll just let the textbook explain it.
First, we'll talk about plasticizers. Plasticizers are chemicals that have strong solvent effects on certain plastics materials but are only added in moderate concentrations. Therefore, rather than dissolve the plastic material, the plasticizer will just cause the polymer to swell. This swelling permits increased chain movement, especially locally, which makes the plastic material softer and more flexible. This greater chain movement means that the material changes from the glassy state (hard and brittle) to the rubbery state (flexible and soft), a process called plasticization.
Next, we'll talk about plasticizer migration. The problem of plasticizer migration is especially difficult to solve. All materials will migrate to areas of lower concentration. The surface of a plasticized plastic material is usually the area of lowest concentration because the molecules on the surface evaporate or are wiped away. Small molecules generally migrate faster than large molecules, but lower weight plasticizers are generally more effective in softening the plastic material. If a heavier, less volatile plasticizer is used, it will migrate slowly to the surface and evaporate slowly, thus staying as an oily residue.
This oily residue is what many people refer to as "finger-printy". It is direct evidence that your cherished CE is losing it's plasticizer, causing the plastic to become more brittle as time passes. If you would like to test this theory, use a clean towel to buff the residue off of the disc. Once clean, go put it on the top shelf of your closet. Check the disc a month or two later. I'm fairly confident in saying that you'll find the disc is once again, "finger-printy". Hopefully this explains that condition, and why you see more CE shattering, not only in 30 degree weather, but 50 degree weather.

So there's a chapter in that book on ce plastic
you ever seen a top 25 pro's in the bag video or video where theres a CE disc? i haven't. someone even asked paul mcbeth on these forums and he said he doesn't like them.

It could possibly "accelerate" the process
No I honestly don't know.
