Notes:
The above figures are just representative values but not specification values.
*1 Moist: In a saturated state in the atmosphere at 23°C and a relative humidity of 65%
*2 Elongation was measured between the chucks.
*3 Test specimens of the non-reinforced grades were 2 mmt.

 Unit conversion:
Tensile strength, flexural strength,
flexural modulus.
