(1) negative values show expansion; (2) continuous service temperature without external loads; (3) if two figures are given for one property, the first refers to the transversal direction, while the second represents principal axis; (4) moulding pressure in compression moulding; (5) wall thickness 3 mm; (6) figures given apply to quasi-isotropic 6-layer [0/90/45/-45/90/0] design; (7) heat conductivity is understood perpendicular to the plane of the laminate (out-of-plane axis).
