INFLUENCE OF CERAMER ON DENSITY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
The density of Ceramer is approximately 1.44 g/cm3, of Ceramerplus approximately 1.54 g/cm3. The low density makes cost effective material applications possible.
Compared to the fluoropolymers, whose density is >2 g/cm3, the low density of the Ceramer and Ceramerplus enables a high volume load with little weight gain.
