Non Medical and non Food Contact

This product is not designated for the manufacture of a medical device or of intermediate products for medical devices (1). This product is also not designated for other specifically regulated applications (e.g. including cosmetics, plant protection, fertilisers, plant strengtheners, food processing, food contact and others). If the intended use of the product is for the manufacture of a medical device or of intermediate products for medical devices or for other specifically regulated applications Covestro must be contacted in advance to provide its agreement to sell such product for such purpose. Nonetheless, any determination as to whether a product is appropriate for use in a medical device or intermediate products for medical devices, for Food Contact products or cosmetic applications must be made solely by the purchaser of the product without relying upon any representations by Covestro.

Sample

Any samples provided by Covestro are for testing purposes only and not for commercial use.

Typical Value

These values are typical values only. Unless explicitly agreed in written form, they do not constitute a binding material specification or warranted values. Values may be affected by the design of the mold/die, the processing conditions and coloring/pigmentation of the product. Unless specified to the contrary, the property values given have been established on standardized test specimens at room temperature.

Shrinkage

Shrinkage data is provided as a reference only, and is based on sample plaques molded under specific, controlled processing conditions. Shrinkage rates in production parts can vary and are influenced by several variables such as, but not limited to: part design (e.g. part size, thickness and geometry), mold design (e.g. gate type and location, runner design, mold materials, cooling system), molding conditions (e.g. processing temperature, mold temperature, packing time and pressure, injection speed).

We suggest materials be evaluated in existing applicable molds to achieve the most accurate shrinkage estimation for your specific application and processing practices. The final choice of shrinkage is the responsibility of the user of the material, and should be made based on your experience and testing results. We shall not be liable for any damage caused by the use of the shrinkage data as provided by us. If you have any questions, pls consult technical representatives from Covestro.
