ASTM-D4745 › Standard Classification System and Basis for Specification for Filled Polytetrafluoroethlyene (PTFE) Molding and Extrusion Materials Using ASTM Methods
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) filled molding compounds made with virgin PTFE resins defined in a certain specification except Types I, IV, V, and VI. PTFE compounds are classified into two types which are Type I as the nonpelletized material use for general purpose compression molding and Type II as the pelletized or free-flowing material use for molding, automatic molding or ram extrusion. Each type is further classified into thirteen grades distinguished by the nature of the filler. Different tests shall be conducted in order to determine the following properties: filler content, bulk density, specific gravity, and tensile properties.
Scope
1.1 This standard classification system and basis for specification covers polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled molding compounds made with virgin PTFE resins defined in Specification D4894, as Types II and III.
Note 1: This system can be used as a model for other PTFE compounds having particulate fillers that can survive the sintering temperatures of PTFE as can those listed in this standard. This system is restricted to virgin PTFE base resin for technical reasons. Recycled or reprocessed material cannot be processed successfully.
Note 2: The properties measured on commercially fabricated parts may differ from the listed values for samples prepared by the procedures given in this specification, depending on part geometry and processing parameters.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
1.3 The following statement applies to the test method portion, Section 11, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See Note 5 for a specific warning statement.
Note 3: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
