ISO 14910-1:2013 establishes a system of designation for thermoplastic polyester/ester and polyether/ester elastomers, which may be used as the basis for specifications.
The types of thermoplastic polyester/ester and polyether/ester elastomer are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties
- hardness;
- melting temperature;
- tensile/flexural modulus of elasticity;
and on information about the intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives, colour, fillers and reinforcing materials.
ISO 14910-1:2013 is applicable to all thermoplastic polyester/ester and polyether/ester elastomers. It applies to materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets, unmodified or modified by colourants, fillers or other additives.
