Multiple choice — select the best answer

AIt has shape-memory and returns to its original form when reheated
BIt is softer and easier to adjust cold
CIt accepts soldering better than acetate
DIt is the most hypoallergenic plastic available

✓ Correct answer: A. It has shape-memory and returns to its original form when reheated Optyl's cross-linked epoxy structure gives it thermal shape-memory: when reheated it returns to the factory shape. This is a key adjustment consideration — overcorrection can be undone simply by reheating.
