Designation:D635811Standard Classification System and Basis for Specification forPoly(Phenylene Sulfide)(PPS)Injection Molding andExtrusion Materials Using ISO Methods1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6358;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This classification system covers unfilled,reinforcedand filled materials suitable for injection molding and extrusionusing ISO methods.The system allows for the use of poly(phenylene sulfide)(PPS)plastic materials that are recycled,reconstituted recycled-regrind,recovered or reprocessed,orboth,provided that the requirements as stated in this specifi-cation are met.It is the responsibility of the supplier and thebuyer of recycled,reconstituted,recycled-regrind,recovered orreprocessed,or both,poly(phenylene sulfide)plastic materialsto ensure compliance(see Guide D7209).1.2 The properties included in this classification are thoserequired to identify the compositions covered.It is possiblethat other requirements are necessary to identify particularcharacteristics important to specialized applications.The use ofsuffixes as shown in Section 5 is one way of specifying theserequirements.1.3 This classification system and subsequent line callout(specification)are intended to provide a means of calling outplastic materials used in the fabrication of end items or parts.It is not intended for the selection of materials.Materialselection needs to be made by those having expertise in theplastic field after careful consideration of the design and theperformance required of the part,the environment to which itwill be exposed,the fabrication process to be employed,thecosts involved,and the inherent properties of the material otherthan those covered by this classification.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 11,of this classification system:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.NOTE1This standard and ISO 28078 address the same subject matter,but differ in technical content.NOTE2ASTM D4067 for PPS uses ASTM test methods.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD3641 Practice for Injection Molding Test Specimens ofThermoplastic Molding and Extrusion MaterialsD3892 Practice for Packaging/Packing of PlasticsD4000 Classification System for Specifying Plastic Materi-alsD4067 Classification System for and Basis for Specificationfor Reinforced and Filled Poly(Phenylene Sulfide)(PPS)Injection Molding and Extrusion Materials Using ASTMMethodsD7209 Guide for Waste Reduction,Resource Recovery,andUse of Recycled Polymeric Materials and ProductsE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with Specifications2.2 IEC and ISO Standards:3IEC 60112 Recommended Methods for Determining theComparative Tracking Index of Solid Insulation MaterialsIEC 60243 Recommended Methods for Electric Strength ofSolid Insulating Materials at Power FrequenciesISO 62 Plastics-Determination of Water AbsorptionISO 178 PlasticsDetermination of Flexural Properties ofRigid PlasticsISO 180/1A PlasticsDeterminationofIzodImpactStrength of Rigid MaterialsISO 294-1 PlasticsInjection Moulding Test Specimens ofThermoplastic MaterialsISO 527 PlasticsDetermination of Tensile PropertiesISO 604 PlasticsDetermination of Compressive Properties1This classification system is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D20 onPlastics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.15 on ThermoplasticMaterials(Section D20.15.17).Current edition approved Dec.1,2011.Published January 2012.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as D6358-06.DOI:10.1520/D6358-11.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3ISO and IEC Selected Standards for the Plastics Industry,2nd Edition,ASTM,Stock#:ISOPLAS2.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 ISO 1133 PlasticsDetermination of Mass Flow Rate andMelt Volume Flow RateISO 1183 PlasticsMethods for Determining the Densityand Relative Density of Noncellular PlasticsISO 3167 PlasticsMultipurpose Test SpecimensISO 3451 PlasticsDe
