NOTICE
 
The results shown herein are typical results that have been obtained in laboratory tests
using bars molded from typical lots of resin. These results are for natural colors only.
The addition of additives may alter some results.

In addition, design, processing methods and equipment, environment
and other variables may affect actual part performance.
 
Inasmuch as General Electric Company has no control over those variables or the use
to which others may put the material, it does not guarantee
that the same results as those described herein will be obtained.
 
Therefore, while these results should assist you in selecting compatible materials,
they are not a substitute for careful testing of prototype parts in
typical operating environments before beginning commercial production.
