* RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE

The maximum operating temperature shown is defined as the temperature which will typically cause a linear shrinkage of 5% after a 24hr exposure period, using sample dimensions of 100mm x 100mm x 25mm. This figure is provided for general guidance only. The actual level of shrinkage the foam will undergo at any particular temperature is dependant on a number of system variables such as, sample dimensions, cell size, loading conditions and exposure period.  Please refer to Technical Bulletin T2 for more detailed information.
