PAS vs. Thermoplastic PI
Both PAS and thermoplastic PI are thermoplastics. There are 11 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (16, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is PAS and the bottom bar is thermoplastic PI.
