Test conditions: Judgment by soaking for 2 weeks at room temperature (about 20°C)

Judgment Criteria:

Excellent = Strength retention rate of 80% or more and dimensional change rate of less than 5%

Conditional = Strength retention rate of 60% or more and dimensional change rate of less than 10%

Not compatible = Less than 60% strength retention or 10% or more dimensional change

*Depending on the application and usage, please perform an immersion confirmation test in advance.
*Wash (according to the cleanliness control level) before use, depending on the application.
