1)Typical values only. Variations within normal tolerances are possible for variose colours.All values are measured at least after 48 hoursstorage at 23C/50% relative humidity. All properties, expect the melt volume rate are measured on injectionmoulded samples. All samples are prepared according to ISO 294.

2)Only typical data for material selection purpose.Not to be used forpart or tool design. 3)This rating is not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or anyother material under actual fire conditions. 4)Own measurement according to UL.
