Degree to which a plastic resists sliding against another material. A lower number indicates more slippery. Degree to which a plastic changes size due temperature change. High number
indicates more growth when heated. The load at which a plastic test specimen fails in compression. A measure of the voltage required to puncture a plastic insulating material. A measure of the flexural stiffness of a plastic prior to breaking or permanently deforming. The load at which a plastic test specimen fails in flexure. The resistance of a plastic
material to indentation. The degree to which a transparent plastic material appears cloudy. The temperature at which a plastic test specimen will bend a specified distance under a specified load. The energy that it takes to break a plastic test specimen. An indication of the toughness of a material. The ability of a plastic to transmit light.

A higher number indicates greater transparency. An approximate temperature above which a plastic material will be more likely to fail. The density of a plastic compared with the density of water. A higher number indicates a denser plastic.

The degree to which a plastic test specimen can be stretched under a tensile load prior to failure. A measure of the tensile (pulling) stiffness of a plastic material prior to breaking or permanently deforming. The load at which a plastic test specimen fails when it is pulled from both ends. The % increase in the weight of a plastic when it is immersed in
water for a specified period of time.
