Modulus of elasticity shown in bending properties is minimum standard.

Please note:
1. Above data is for all of Pas-Gon profiles.
2. Properties for specific profiles (in stock or custom-made) as well as additional
or improved properties are available upon request.
3. Different resin formulations can provide even greater resistance to various
chemicals – if required, please consult with us.
4. For information or guidance concerning use of profiles in environment with
chemicals, which were not listed, please consult with us.
5. Any uncoated, exposed, sawed or drilled fiber surface is easily "attacked" by
potentially corrosive “agents”. Therefore, for improved chemical resistance
and profile performance, these areas should be carefully resin dipped and/or
protected by other means.
6. All profiles that are more than 10mm. in diameter are manufactured with a
special polyester veil in order to prevent the glass roving from “sticking out”
on the surface.
7. The data in this publication is accurate and reliable to the best of our
knowledge.
