NB: The temperature ranges refer to the surface treatment, the rating of the product itself may be much higher.
1 = poor performance
5 = outstanding performance
Numerical ratings given in this table are an indication only of comparative performance ratings. These ratings will vary according to the design of individual compounds and should not be constructed as recommendations. Choice of coating should be carried out on the basis of practical testing of the coated fabrics.
