A rubber in its modified state cannot be easily remoulded to a permanent shape by the application of heat and moderate pressure; free of diluents, it retracts within 1 min to less than 1,5 times its original length after being stretched at normal room temperature (18 °C to 29 °C) to twice its length and held for 1 min before release. 1, record 1, English, - rubber

Un élastomère-caoutchouc dans son état modifié ne peut être aisément remoulé par chauffage et pression modérés. En son état modifié, un élastomère-caoutchouc ne contenant pas de diluants revient, en 1 min, à moins de 1,5 fois sa longueur initiale, après avoir été étiré, à la température normale (18 °C à 29 °C), et maintenu au double de sa longueur initiale durant 1 min avant d'être relâché. 1, record 1, French, - caoutchouc
