             Notes

  1. Dry = dried at 80°C and 1 mbar until weight is constant (moisture content less than 0.2%)
  2. Moist = after storage in a standard atmosphere of 23° C and 50% relative humidity (DIN 50014) until saturation.
  3. Specimen boxes, thickness t=1.5 mm
  4. Made by a pin / rotating disc test according DIN-ISO 7148-2 under following conditions: Ra = 0,35 – 0,45 m m (steel disc), v = 0,3 m/s,  p = 3 N/mm2,   test time T>16h
