Notes
1Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications.
2Mould shrinkage is significantly influenced by many factors including wall thickness, gating, component shape and moulding conditions. The range values stated were determined from specimen bar mouldings of 1.5mm to 4mm wall thickness. They are provided as a guide for comparison purposes only and no guarantee should be inferred from their inclusion. (Specimens measured in the dry state, 24 hours after moulding).
