- very high stiffness and strength even after conditioning and over a wide temperature range
- excellent notched impact resistance also at low temperatures
- low creep
- high heat distortion temperatures
- low moisture absorption
- very good dimensional stability and little warpage
- very little coefficient of thermal expansion
- very low density
