ASTM D5021

Scope

1.1 This specification covers alloys of chlorinated ethylene elastomers suitable for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, and other plastics processing methods.

1.2 This specification allows for the use of those TECEA materials that can be recycled, regrounded, and reprocessed, provided that the requirements as stated in this specification are met. The proportions of recycled material used, as well as the nature and amount of any contaminant, however, cannot be covered practically in this specification.

1.3 The properties included in this specification are those required to identify the compositions covered. There may be other requirements necessary to identify particular characteristics important to specialized application. These shall be agreed upon between the user and the supplier, by using the suffixes given in Section 5.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The practices, as detailed in Practice IEEE/ASTM SI 10, are incorporated herein.

1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 10, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1–There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.
