Further information can be found under "Downloads"The data presented in this section are to be seen as a guide and may vary depending on the processing method and test specimen used. In general, the figures are averages of tests performed on extruded sheets with a thickness of 4 mm. In the case of sheets manufactured by means of pressing, testing is generally performed on sheets with a thickness of 20 mm. Deviations may be possible if sheets are not available in these specific thicknesses. In the case of backed sheets, all technical specifications relate to the non-backed base sheets. Please note that this information is not necessarily applicable to products that have undergone downstream processing. The suitability of a material for a specific area of application must be checked by the processor or end user. All technical specifications are provided only as a guide for planning purposes.
