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.
