Test of Mycalex Submitted by the Mycalex Corporation of America

Abstract

The dielectric constant and the power factor of the material were measured at a frequency of 300 kilocycles both before and after the sample had been immersed in distilled water for 96 hours. The moisture absorption of the material was determined by accurately weighing the sample after it had been immersed in distilled water for 100 hours during which time the water was boiled four times, and again after the sample had been dried out in an oven maintained at a temperature of 120 deg C for 24 hours. The density of the sample was determined, since it is called a lightweight material, and its machinability was also checked.
