The continuous operating temperature of this engineering plastic ranges between -40 °C and +100 °C. Based on its toughness combined with high dimensional stability, there is no tendency to stress cracking. The copolymer has high thermal stability and chemical resistance. In particular, the increased hydrolytic stability and resistance to contact with many solvents must be taken into account. This material is frequently found in applications in the food industry, as cleaning processes require resistance to the use of hot water or various chemical agents. Our round rods and sheets in natural colour comply with the food contact regulations according to 10/2011/EC.
