To achieve optimum mechanical properties, it is recommended to pre-dry the material with the above mentioned parameters.
(*1) Values measured on injection moulded test specimens
(*2) Values measured on the raw material
(*3) The exact parameters depend on the printer used.
(*4) Do not exceed maximum drying temperature of 120°C
(*5) Properties tested on printed specimens

European-made or imported varieties comply with REACH Regulation 1907/2006 / EC as amended Unless otherwise noted, these values were determined by tests on injection moulded samples, dry as moulded. The corresponding values and information are no minimum or maximum values, but guideline values that can be used primarily for comparison purposes for material selection. These values are within the normal tolerance range of product properties and do not represent guaranteed property values. Therefore they shall not be used for specification purposes.
