Notes

¹Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications.

²Mould shrinkage is significantly influenced by many factors including wall thickness, gating, moulding shape and processing conditions. The range values given are determined from specimen bar mouldings of 1.5 mm to 4 mm 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).
