Polyester - Casting; Flexible

Advantages

Higher elongation at break and notched impact strength and lower density than rigid casting polyester.

Disadvantages

Significantly lower tensile strength and flexural modulus, lower HDT and dielectric strength and higher linear expansion than rigid casting polyester.
