†Mechanical properties are corrected for thickness and therefore apply to all thicknesses of sheet,
although slight deviations may be found in thin gauges. Values for any given specimen of sheeting
may be approximated by means of a suitable conversion factor based on the dimensions of the specimen.

‡In general, the thermal, permanence, electrical, and miscellaneous properties listed are charac-
teristics of the plastic from which C.A.B. Sheet is manufactured, and they should not vary signifacantly
from one thickness to another

Since some variaton occurs in all plastics and in all plastic testing, there is no representation
that the sheeting in any particular order will conform exactly to all the properties shown.
