1、Designation:D815618Standard Classification System for and Basis of SpecificationsforThermoplastic Elastomer Copolyester Molding andExtrusion Materials(TPC)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8156;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoptio
2、n or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This classification system covers segmented block co-polyester elastomers suitable
3、 for molding and extrusion.1.2 This classification system allows for the use of seg-mented block copolyesther elastomers that are recycled pro-vided that the requirements as stated in this classificationsystem are met.The proportions of recycled material used,aswell as the nature and amount of any c
4、ontaminant,however,cannot be covered practically in this specification.1.3 The properties included in this classification system arethose required to identify the compositions covered.It ispossible that there are other requirements necessary to identifyparticular characteristics important to special
5、ized applications.One way of specifying them is by using the suffixes as given inSection 5.1.4 This classification system and subsequent line callout(specification)are intended to provide a means of calling outplastic materials used in the fabrication of end items or parts.It is not intended for the
6、 selection of materials.Materialselection is best made by those having expertise in the plasticfield after careful consideration of the design and the perfor-mance required of the part,the environment to which it will beexposed,the fabrication process to be employed,the costsinvolved,and the inheren
