Our information and statements reflect the current state of our knowledge and shall inform about our products and their applications. They do not assure or
guarantee chemical resistance, quality of products and their merchantability in a legally binding way. Our products are not defined for use in medical or dental
implants. Existing commercial patents have to be observed. The corresponding values and information are no minimum or maximum values, but guideline values
that can be used primarily for comparison purposes for material selection. These values are within the normal tolerance range of product properties and do not
represent guaranteed property values. Therefore they shall not be used for specification purposes. Unless otherwise noted, these values were determined by
tests at reference dimensions (typically rods with diameter 40-60 mm according to DIN EN 15860) on extruded and machined specimen. As the properties depend
on the dimensions of the semi-finished products and the orientation in the component (esp. in reinforced grades), the material may not be used without a separate
testing under individual circumstances. The customer is solely responsible for the quality and suitability of products for the application and has to test usage and
processing prior to use. Technical changes reserved.
