- Notes
Unless otherwise stated, products are tested at a typical thickness of 4mm. 1 The impact values stated indicate the range that this grade meets and depends on thickness of the sheet, plus actual material grades selected in each layer for every customer's project – typically customized. Mechanical suitability for each formulation should be evaluated based on the material delivered. * The density quoted should only be used as a guide. This value can change depending upon the type and quantity of pigments or additives used. ** Fire behavior values given by raw material supplier or by indicative test on raw material. Not intended as a specification.
- Drying
Space must be left between sheets to allow correct drying.
- Markets
- Automotive & Transportation
- Storage
Long storage times in humid conditions may require a product to be dried, e.g. 80oC for 2 hours +1hr per additional mm of thickness.

- Product Modification
Product code nomenclature takes in to account selected primary features of a product. The suffix may indicate a primary additional functionality, however, further multiple modifications are almost always possible and may be agreed upon and specified prior to our technical and commercial offer. Such enhancements are a normal part of our service capability and they do not affect the general characteristics listed in technical datasheets.
- Dimensional Tolerances
Standard tolerances are subject to the local standard tolerance set. Extra tolerance requirements may be possible on request and by special agreement
- Supplemental Information
Chemical Contact and cleaning. Chemical resistance is influenced by many factors, including concentration, temperature, exposure time and material stress. Therefore the data should only be used as a guide. Most common mild soaps or detergents dissolved in warm water can be used to effectively clean general dirt and surface contaminants, but in all cases should be objectively tested. Abrasive products will damage the surface.
