Heat deflection temperature

Heat deflection temperature or heat distortion temperature (DTUL, HDT, or HDTUL) is the temperature at which a polymer or plastic sample deforms under a specified load. The HDT of a given plastic material is applied in many aspects to the design, engineering, and manufacturing of products which use thermoplastic components.
