Limits
° Some visible contact marks may occur on flat surfaces treated in bulk by dip – spins method.
° Parts have to accept curing at approx. 300 deg. C
° Limited ductility restricts further plastic deformation (crimping-bending ) but is entirely adequate for the protection of parts which deform elastically i.e. springs and clips.
