Section 3: Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance / Form: Black, sheet solid (foam).
Odor: Slight plastic odor.
Water Absorption: < 0.005 g/cm².
Thermal Stability:
Softening begins at approximately 65°C.
Melting/shrinkage begins at approximately 90°C.
Aging (oxidation leading to powdering) begins after approximately 5 years at ambient temperature. Service life reduces to approximately 3 years if continuously used above 40°C.
