Thermoplastic elastomers - Nomenclature and abbreviated terms (ISO 18064:2003)
ISO 18064:2003 establishes a nomenclature system for thermoplastic elastomers based on the chemical composition of the polymer or polymers involved. It defines symbols and abbreviated terms used to identify thermoplastic elastomers in industry, commerce and government. It is not intended to conflict with, but to supplement, existing trade names and trademarks.
Thermoplastic-elastomer abbreviated terms that have been used in the past are given in an Annex.
Thermoplastische Elastomere - Nomenklatur und Kurzzeichen (ISO 18064:2003)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Nomenklatursystem für thermoplastische Elastomere auf der Grundlage der chemischen Zusammensetzung des bzw. der betreffenden Polymere fest. Die Norm definiert die zum Identifizieren thermoplastischer Elastomere in der Industrie, im Handel und auf Regierungsebene verwendeten Symbole und Kurzzeichen. Ziel ist es nicht, mit bestehenden Handelsnamen und (geschützten) Warenzeichen in Konflikt zu kommen, sondern diese zu ergänzen.
ANMERKUNG 1 In technischen Dokumenten und Präsentationen sollte der Name des thermoplastischen Elastomers gefolgt von dem in dieser Internationalen Norm zum Bezeichnen des Elastomers verwendeten Kurzzeichen verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Anhang A gibt Kurzzeichen für thermoplastische Elastomere an, die in der Vergangenheit in Werkstoffnormen, technischen Bulletins, Lehrbüchern, Patenten und der Fachliteratur verwendet wurden.
Élastomères thermoplastiques - Nomenclature et termes abrégé (ISO 18064:2003)
L'ISO 18064:2003 établit un système de nomenclature des élastomères thermoplastiques fondé sur la composition chimique du polymère ou des polymères concernés. Elle définit les symboles et les abréviations utilisés pour identifier les élastomères thermoplastiques dans l'industrie, le commerce et le secteur public. Elle est destinée à compléter plutôt qu'à concurrencer les dénominations commerciales et les marques de commerce existantes.
Les termes et abréviations des élastomères thermoplastiques utilisés par le passé sont donnés dans l'Annexe A.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 18064 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products.

Introduction
Thermoplastic elastomers combine many of the attributes and features of both vulcanized thermoset rubber
and thermoplastic materials. It is, therefore, important that any system of classification and nomenclature for
this rapidly expanding polymer sector should be acceptable to both the rubber and plastics industries. Neither
of the existing standards for the nomenclature and abbreviated terms for rubber (ISO 1629) and for plastics
(ISO 1043-1) is suitable for this purpose. The system in this International Standard has been devised to avoid
any conflict of interests or ambiguity, permit the use of existing terms in the construction of abbreviations for
thermoplastic elastomers, and allow for future developments or expansion.
This International Standard uses established abbreviated terms. Its aim is both to prevent the occurrence of
more than one abbreviated term for a given thermoplastic elastomer term, and to prevent the interpretation of
more than one meaning for a given abbreviated term. For this reason, this International Standard makes
appropriate use of the terms and symbols listed in ISO 1043-1 and ISO 1629.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 18064:2003(E)
Thermoplastic elastomers — Nomenclature and abbreviated
terms
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes a nomenclature system for thermoplastic elastomers based on the
chemical composition of the polymer or polymers involved. It defines symbols and abbreviated terms used to
identify thermoplastic elastomers in industry, commerce and government. It is not intended to conflict with, but
to supplement, existing trade names and trademarks.
NOTE 1 The name of the thermoplastic elastomer should be used in technical papers and presentations followed by
the abbreviated term used to designate the elastomer in this International Standard.
NOTE 2 Annex A gives thermoplastic-elastomer abbreviated terms that have been used in the past in materials
standards, technical bulletins, textbooks, patents and trade literature.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Generic terms and definitions
3.1 TPE
Thermoplastic elastomer, consisting of a polymer or blend of polymers that has properties at its service
temperature similar to those of vulcanized rubber but can be processed and reprocessed at elevated
temperature like a thermoplastic.
NOTE Thermoplastic rubber is a commonly used term for thermoplastic elastomer.
3.2 TP
Prefix used to identify that the abbreviated term is for a thermoplastic elastomer.
ISO 18064:2003(E)
4 Nomenclature system
4.1 The prefix TP shall be followed by a letter representing each category of thermoplastic elastomer, as
detailed in Clause 5.
4.2 The abbreviated term for each category of thermoplastic elastomer shall be followed, after a hyphen, by
a combination of symbols to describe a specific member of each category, as detailed in Clause 6.
