typo: hard
Is it possible, that this is a typo here for "hard"?
The next paragraph ends like this:
"Acrylic binders have the widest range of fabric hand properties. They can be formulated to vary from very soft (Tg = -40 °C) to extremely hard (Tg = 105 °C)."
So, "hand" is a legit word in this context, they described it with adjectives such as very soft and extremely hard.
It would be good to see the missing first part of the sentence in question, but I think it is possible that in this sentence what they wanted to write is: "...equivalent to a moderate soft to an intermediate hard".
