The above-mentioned values are typical values at 23°C, unless otherwise stated. They are intended as a guideline for material determination. They cannot be used for drawing up material specifications. They do not discharge the user of effecting his own tests in order to determine whether a material is suitable for the application.
  1. Test speed: 50 mm/min.
  2. Test speed: 5 mm/min.
  3. Temperature resistance over a period of several months to several years. The given temperature limits are determined by the thermal-oxidative degradation which takes place and causes a fall-off in properties (embrittlement). Besides, as for all thermoplastics, the maximum service temperature depends essentially on the duration and the magnitude of the mechanical stress to which the material is subjected.
  4. Measured on a 2 mm thick test specimen. As with other materials, the dielectric strength diminishes with increasing sheet thickness, e.g. for 3 mm sheet the dielectric strength is 16 kV/mm, for 6 mm sheet 11 kV/mm.
  5. These ratings are not intended to reflect hazards presented by the material under actual fire
  6. Classification obtained on the resin
