The following results were obtained using a standard 3-point test carried out on the 140mm x 38mm solid profile.  

Parameter	Description / Units	Result
DENSITY	g/mm³	0.93
FLEXURAL STRENGTH	Max Flexural stress sustained by the specimen which caused it to rupture. Megapascals - ( Mpa)	21
MODULUS of ELASTICITY	Mpa	889
IMPACT ENERGY	Impact required to rupture the specimen during the 3 point bending test. Millijoules - ( Mj)	346
MAXIMUM DEFLECTION	The maximum downward deflection prior to breaking. ( mm)	125
