ISO/TC 45/WG 10 - Terminology

This document establishes a nomenclature system for thermoplastic elastomers based on the chemical composition of the polymer or polymers involved. It specifies 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 is intended to be used in technical papers and presentations followed by the abbreviated term used to designate the elastomer in this document. 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.

This document establishes a vocabulary of and is limited to those terms in general use throughout the rubber industry. It does not define terms intended for particular rubber products, some of which are given in the vocabulary standards listed in the Bibliography. It does not define terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources such as general dictionaries. The terms are listed in the alphabetical order of the English terms, with an index to the corresponding English terms attached. Symbols are included under their full descriptions.

ISO 6472:2017 establishes unambiguous abbreviated terms for commonly used rubber compounding ingredients of known, specific chemical composition.

ISO 1629:2013 establishes a system of symbols for the basic rubbers in both dry and latex forms, based on the chemical composition of the polymer chain. The purpose is to standardize the abbreviated terms used in industry, commerce and government, and it is not intended to conflict with, but rather to act as a supplement to, existing trade names and trademarks.

ISO 13507:2012 provides a list of short terms for analytical characteristics to be used in certificates of analysis for rubber compounds, raw rubbers and compounding materials.

ISO 18064:2014 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.

ISO 1382:2012 is a trilingual (English/French/Russian) vocabulary containing the definitions of approximately 400 terms in general use in the rubber industry.

ISO 6472:2010 establishes unambiguous symbols and abbreviated terms for commonly used rubber compounding ingredients of known, specific chemical composition.

ISO 1382:2008 is a bilingual (English/French) vocabulary containing the definitions of approximately 400 terms in general use in the rubber industry.

ISO 6472:2004 establishes unambiguous abbreviations for commonly used rubber compounding ingredients of known, specific chemical composition. The abbreviations are derived from common usage in industry and commerce rather than from any systematic nomenclature. The list is not intended to conflict with, but rather to act as a supplement to, existing trade-names and trademarks. The list does not purport to be comprehensive, and abbreviations for other compounding ingredients will be added in future revisions. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature is provided where this is available, in addition to the commonly used chemical name or names. In some instances, alternative commonly used chemical names are given where they are recognized. Where available, a Chemical Abstracts Registry number (CAS RN) is also provided.

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.

Defines terms used in the rubber industry. Replaces the second edition.

Establishes a system of symbols for the basic rubbers in both dry and latex forms, based on the chemical composition of the polymer chain. Standardizes the terms used in industry and commerce and is not intended to come into conflict with existing trade names and trade marks. Replaces the first edition which has been technically revised.

Establishes unambiguous abbreviations for commonly used rubber compounding ingredients, other than polymers, derived from a consensus of world opinion.
