Standard Specification for Polyethylene Sheeting in Thickness of 0.25 mm [0.010 in.] and Greater
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for extruded- and compression-molded sheeting made from low-, medium- and high-density polyethylenes and copolymers in thickness of 0.25 mm [0.010 in.] and greater. Depending on the functional requirements, sheeting conforming to this specification is used in applications such as chemical tank linings, spacers in electrical equipment, thermoforming into such items as trays, pallets, and shipping containers, and as machine-shop stock.
1.2 Polyethylene materials, being thermoplastics, are reprocessable and recyclable (see Guides D 5033 and D 7209). This specification allows for the use of those polyethylene plastic materials, provided that any specific requirements as governed by the producer and end user are met.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in brackets are for information only.
There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
