* Density suggestion is a function of utilities and expander capabilities; the above values represent optimum expansion conditions.

*The select of beads size shall be according to the min thickness of the casting wall, used to be 1/10 of it. For example, you could choose the 700 µm szie beads if the casting's thinnest wall is 7mm. If the casting needs a high precision, it can also choose the next small class.

*Contains an additive which quickly reduces the molecular weight of polystyrene at elevated temperatures. Recommended for applications in aluminum having fold defects and applications in iron having excessive lustrous carbon in castings.

*Typical Application means we have tested in this kind of metal, metals beyond that are according to be actually used.
