2. \u00a0Corrosion resistance<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Durometer\/Hardness\/Flexibility<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Viscosity<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Heat resistance<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Melting point<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Cooling point<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Cooling time<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Color\/Appearance<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Ability to add colorant<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0Reactivity with other material<\/p>\n
