Customers are encouraged to conduct their own tests. Before using any product read its label.

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. They do not constitute a guarantee of specific properties or qualities. For further information, please contact our Technical Service Centre at tsc@simona.de.
