Density

Mass per unit volume under stated material and measurement conditions.

Material family: Coatings, inks and additives

Where it matters

Use compatible units and actual grade data when calculating material mass from geometry.

Testing and verification

Do not confuse density with areal mass or treat all grades of a polymer family as identical.
