|
Waterproof testing |
|
Samples are boiled in water for 3 hours, then frozen at -20 degrees centigrade. |
|
|
Testing and bending strength conducted after three hours. After boiling, freezing and desiccating, conservation bending strength= 113Mpa. |
Results (waterproof) |
|
The samples are tested according to outdoor use construction model standard.
The conservation bending strength reaches the JP/T3026 - 1995 A class products standard. |
