    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 08.03, 2015 Describes the basic properties of thermo-set molding compounds and the test methods used to establish the properties.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1This specification covers the basic properties of thermoset molding compounds and the test methods used to establish the properties.

    1.2Classification—Molding thermosetting plastic compounds shall be of the following resins and are covered by the individual specification sheets (see 5.1 and Annex A1-Annex A8).

    Resin

    Phenolic, cellulose filled

    Phenolic, mineral/glass filled

    Melamine

    Polyester

    Diallyl iso-phthalate

    Diallyl ortho-phthalate

    Silicone

    Epoxy


    Note 1—There is no equivalent ISO standard.

    1.3Order of Precedence—In the event of a conflict between the text of this specification and the references cited in Section 2 (except for related specification sheets), the text of this specification takes precedence. Nothing in this specification, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.

    1.4The values stated in SI units are to be considered standard.
