Tico S will operate satisfactory over the indicated range and is suitable for both arctic and tropical climates.
Load Bearing Capacity
Recommended maximum load 0.35 MN/m2.
Tico S will withstand very high dynamic and static loads without physical breakdown. In machinery mounting applications, however, the recommended maximum static load should not be exceeded without consultation.
Dimensional Stability
Tico S material is dimensionally stable under widely varying atmospheric conditions.
