Plastics - Polypropylene (PP) moulding and extrusion materials - Part 1: Designation system and basis for specifications (ISO 19069-1:2015)

This part of ISO 19069 establishes a system of designation for polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic
material, which can be used as the basis for specifications.
The types of polypropylene plastics are differentiated from each other by a classification system based
on appropriate levels of the designatory properties
a) tensile modulus of elasticity,
b) impact strength, and
c) melt mass-flow rate (MFR),
and on information about basic polymer parameters, intended application and/or method of processing,
important properties, additives, colorants, fillers, and reinforcing materials.
This part of ISO 19069 is applicable to all polypropylene homopolymers and to copolymers of propylene
with a content of other 1-olefinic of less than 50 % (m/m), as well as blends of polymers containing at
least 50 % (m/m) of aforementioned polymers.
It applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules, or pellets and to materials
unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc.
This part of ISO 19069 does not apply to propylene-based rubber.
It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same
performance. This part of ISO 19069 does not provide engineering data, performance data, or data on
processing conditions which can be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or
method of processing.
If such additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods
specified in ISO 19069-21), if suitable.
In order to specify a thermoplastic material for a particular application or to ensure reproducible
processing, additional requirements can be given in data block 5 (see 3.1).

Kunststoffe - Polypropylen (PP)-Formmassen - Teil 1: Bezeichnungssystem und Basis für Spezifikationen (ISO 19069-1:2015)

1.1   In diesem Teil von ISO 19069 wird ein Bezeichnungssystem für thermoplastische Poly¬propylen (PP)-Formmassen festgelegt, das als Grundlage für Spezifikationen dienen kann.
1.2   Polypropylen-Formmasse-Typen werden mit Hilfe eines Einteilungssystems voneinander unterschieden, das auf geeigneten Wertebereichen der kennzeichnenden Eigenschaften
a)   Zugelastizitätsmodul,
b)   Charpy-Kerbschlagzähigkeit,
c)   Schmelze-Massefließrate (MFR)
und Informationen über Parameter der Basispolymere, vorgesehene Anwendung und/oder Verarbeitungs-verfahren, wichtige Eigenschaften, Additive, Farbstoffe, Füll- und Verstärkungsstoffe beruht.
1.3   Dieser Teil von ISO 19069 ist anwendbar auf alle Polypropylen-Homopolymere und Copolymere des Propylens mit einem Massenanteil an anderen 1 Olefinmonomeren von weniger als 50 % sowie auf Polymermischungen mit einem Massenanteil an obenerwähnten Polymeren von mindestens 50 %.
Er gilt für gebrauchsfertige Formmassen in der Form von Pulver, Granulat oder Pellets sowie für Formmassen, modifiziert oder nicht modifiziert mit Farbstoffen, Additiven, Füllstoffen usw.
Dieser Teil von ISO 19069 ist nicht anwendbar auf Gummi auf Propylenbasis.
1.4   Es sollte nicht unterstellt werden, dass Formmassen mit gleicher Bezeichnung notwendigerweise auch das gleiche Leistungsverhalten aufweisen. Dieser Teil von ISO 19069 enthält keine technischen Daten, Leistungsangaben oder Daten zu Verarbeitungsbedingungen, die möglicherweise notwendig sind, um eine Formmasse für eine spezielle Anwendung und/oder ein bestimmtes Verarbeitungsverfahren zu spezifizieren.
Wenn derartige zusätzliche Eigenschaften erforderlich sind, müssen sie, soweit möglich, in Übereinstimmung mit den in Teil 2 dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegten Prüfverfahren bestimmt werden.
1.5   Um eine thermoplastische Formmasse für eine bestimmte Anwendung zu spezifizieren oder eine reproduzierbare Verarbeitung sicherzustellen, dürfen zusätzliche Anforderungen im Daten-Block 5 angegeben werden (siehe Abschnitt 3, einleitender Absatz).

Plastiques - Matériaux polypropylène (PP) pour moulage et extrusion - Partie 1: Système de désignation et base de spécification (ISO 19069-1:2015)

L'ISO 19069-1:2015 établit un système de désignation des matériaux thermoplastiques polypropylène (PP) qui peut être utilisé comme base pour les spécifications.
Les types de plastiques polypropylène sont différenciés les uns des autres par un système de classification fondé sur des niveaux appropriés des propriétés de désignation:
a)    module d'élasticité en traction,
b)    résistance au choc, et
c)    indice de fluidité à chaud en masse (MFR),
et des informations concernant les paramètres du polymère de base, l'application prévue et/ou la méthode de mise en ?uvre, les propriétés importantes, les additifs, les colorants, les charges et les matériaux de renfort.
L'ISO 19069-1:2015 est applicable à tous les homopolymères et aux copolymères du propylène ayant une teneur en autres monomères 1-oléfiniques inférieure à 50 % (m/m), ainsi qu'aux mélanges de polymères contenant au moins 50 % (m/m) des polymères mentionnés ci-dessus.
Elle s'applique aux matériaux prêts à l'emploi normal sous forme de poudre, de grains ou de granulés, non modifiés ou modifiés par des colorants, des additifs, des charges, etc.
L'ISO 19069-1:2015 ne s'applique pas au caoutchouc à base de propylène.

Polimerni materiali - Materiali za oblikovanje in ekstrudiranje iz polipropilena - 1. del: Sistem označevanja in osnove za specifikacijo (ISO 19069-1:2015)

Ta del standarda ISO 19069 določa sistem označevanja polipropilenskega (PP) plastomernega materiala, ki ga je mogoče uporabiti kot podlago za specifikacije.
Vrste polipropilenskih polimernih materialov se ločujejo glede na sistem razvrščanja, ki temelji na ustreznih ravneh označevalnih lastnosti:
a) nateznih modulih elastičnosti,
b) udarni trdnosti in
c) prostorninskem pretoku taline (MFR)
ter na informacijah o parametrih osnovnega polimera, nameravani uporabi in/ali metodi obdelave, pomembnih lastnostih, aditivih, barvilih, polnilih ter materialih za ojačanje.
Ta del standarda ISO 19069 se uporablja za vse polipropilenske homopolimere in kopolimere propilena z manj kot 50 % (m/m) vsebnostjo drugega 1-olefina in tudi mešanice polimerov, ki vsebujejo najmanj 50 % (m/m) omenjenih polimerov.
Uporablja se za materiale v obliki praška, granul ali peletov, pripravljene za običajno uporabo, in materiale, nespremenjene ali spremenjene z barvili, aditivi, polnili itd.
Ta del standarda ISO 19069 se ne uporablja za propilensko gumo.
Materiali z enako oznako nimajo nujno tudi enakih lastnosti. Ta del standarda ISO 19069 ne zagotavlja inženirskih podatkov, podatkov o delovanju ali podatkov o pogojih obdelave, ki so lahko potrebni za določitev materiala za določeno uporabo in/ali metodo obdelave.
Če so take dodatne lastnosti zahtevane, se določijo v skladu s preskusnimi metodami iz standarda ISO 19069-21, če je to primerno.
Da bi se določil termoplastični material za določeno uporabo ali da bi se zagotovila obnovljiva obdelava, je mogoče v podatkovnem bloku 5 navesti dodatne zahteve (glej točko 3.1).

3 Designation and sp ecification system
3.1 General
The designation and specification system for thermoplastics is based on the following standardized
pattern:
Designation
Identity block
Designation block Individual-item block
International Stand-
(optional)
Data block Data block Data block Data block Data block
ard number block
1 2 3 4 5
The designation consists of an optional description block, reading “Thermoplastics”, and an identity
block comprising the International Standard number and an individual-item block. For unambiguous
designation, the individual-item block is subdivided into five data blocks comprising the following
information.
Data block 1: Identification of the plastic by its symbol PP in accordance with ISO 1043-1 and information
about the polymerization process or composition of the polymer (see 3.2).
Data block 2: Fillers or reinforcing
