3a ISO 75, 0.45 MPa, measured on annealed specimens.

4 ISO 179-1/1eU, unnotched, X-Y orientation, 23 °C.

A glass fiber reinforced high performance polymer that is chemically inert, electrically insulating, and stable at high temperature. It holds its shape past 230°C, takes up almost no moisture, and is inherently flame retardant. It resists acids, bases, fuels, and solvents across a wide temperature range.
