Data presented herein is based upon tests performed in our labs on properly molded flat sheets tested according to standard procedures where referenced and what we believe to be appropriate methods where no standard
method exists. Since the values found in parts made from this material depend upon many factors beyond our control, such as molding conditions and procedures, part and mold design, operator skill and specific test
procedures employed, we do not guarantee that the specified results will be obtained on any specific part and urge prospective users to make their decisions based upon the performance of actual parts molded under
production conditions. NO WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE IS GIVEN. Our liability and purchaser’s remedy for any fault in the product, whether the result of negligence or
otherwise, is limited to a refund of the cost of the material. This printed copy of this document is only for reference purposes and is the responsibility of the user to verify the accuracy of this document against the master
