This procedure for finding these physical properties has been provided by Mistral Associates as a free and philanthropic service to all individuals and organisations primarily having an interest in the food service, production, storage, distribution and refrigeration industries. Mistral Associates makes no claim as to their accuracy and does not accept responsibility for the consequences of their use or application. Mistral Associates also prohibits retrieval or use of any information from the procedure or information available on this or any other of its website pages for the purpose of damaging the vested interests, both financial and the reputation, of the organisation known as Mistral Associates or of any of its staff members or shareholders.

The physical properties displayed have been researched by Mistral Associates and in every case values for each item have been found to be publicly displayed in more than one freely available credible reference. They are in common usage and therefore considered to be information in the public domain. If any individual or representative of any organisation does not agree with the inclusion of such data for any item in the publicly available procedure on this website they may write to Mistral Associates at the address as displayed through the 'Contact' link provided on these website pages, stating their reasons and qualification for their objection. Full and respectful consideration will be given and if deemed necessary, appropriate action taken to delete or amend such item(s).
