Evaluation: ○ Use permitted
△ Use permitted under certain conditions
× Use not permitted
Note: For actual use, always conduct chemical and strength
testing since differences occur due to usage conditions.
Slight yellowing may occur due to exposure to sunlight, etc.
Chemical resistance is based on data at ambient
temperature (23°C).
