They serve as information about our products and are presented as a guide to choose from a range of materials. This however does not include an assurance of specific properties or the suitability for particular application purposes that are legally binding. Since the properties also depend on the dimension of the semi-finished products and the degree of crystallization e.g. nucleating by pigments the actual values of the properties of a particular product may differ from indicated values.
