Abbreviation (plastic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abbreviation for polymers are abbreviations of important chemical names polymers for plastics are used. The capital letters used for this are standardized in DIN EN ISO 1043-1: 2016-09 (plastics - identification letters and abbreviations), DIN ISO 1629: 2015-03 ( rubber and latices) and DIN EN ISO 18064: 2015-03 (thermoplastic elastomers) . For man-made fibers , the standardization takes place in DIN ISO 2076: 2014-03 (textiles, man-made fibers, generic names). To identify special properties, further letters can follow a hyphen. The marking of workpieces made of plastic with a weight of 25 grams or more and a flat surface of more than 200 square millimeters is specified in ISO 11469.

Some abbreviations are also used in the recycling code to identify the material.
