1、Designation: D 788 06Standard Classification System forPoly(Methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA) Molding and ExtrusionCompounds1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 788; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y

2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 The purpose of this classification system is to provide amethod of adequately identifying PMMA materials usin

3、g asystem consistent with that of Classification System D 4000.Itfurther provides a means for specifying these materials by theuse of a simple line callout designation.1.2 This classification system covers poly(methyl methacry-late) molding and extrusion compounds. These compounds arepolymers based

4、on methyl methacrylate, and at least 70 % ofthe polymer shall be polymerized from methyl methacrylate.1.3 The properties in this classification system are thoserequired to identify the compositions covered. There may beother requirements necessary to identify particular character-istics important to

5、 specific applications. These shall be de-scribed by using the suffixes as given in Section 5.1.4 Acrylic molding and extrusion compounds are usedfrequently in applications where extreme clarity and the abilityto retain that clarity and color under severe weathering andother environmental exposures

6、are of primary significance.While the test specimen properties of this document may beused to evaluate nonvirgin materials, the user should takeprecautions to ensure that parts made from these materials meetthe desired end-use requirements. Accordingly, this specifica-tion allows for the use of thos

7、e acrylic plastic materials that canbe recycled, reconstituted, and regrounded provided the fol-lowing:1.4.1 The requirements as stated in this specification aremet,1.4.2 The material has not been modified in any way to alterits conformance to food contact regulations or similar require-ments, and1.

8、4.3 The requirements of the particular end-use applicationare met.1.5 This classification system and subsequent line callout(specification) are not intended for the selection of materials,but only as a means to call out plastic materials to be used forthe manufacture of parts. The selection of these

9、 materials is tobe made by personnel with expertise in the plastics field inwhich the environment, inherent properties of the materials,performance of the parts, part design, manufacturing process,and economics are considered.NOTE 1This classification system is similar to ISO 8257-1:1987 intitle onl

10、y. The technical content is significantly different.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate

11、 safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Basis of Classification4.1 Poly(methyl methacrylate) molding and extrusion com-pounds are classified into grou

22、ps in accordance with theircomposition. These groups are subdivided into classes andgrades as shown in Table 3. A complete classification mustinclude reference to melt-flow rate, as discussed in 4.2 and5.1.4.4.1.1 To facilitate the incorporation of future or specialmaterials, the “other/unspecified”

23、 category (0) for group, class,and grade is given in Table 3.4.1.2 When the grade of the basic material is not shown, oris not important, the use of “0” grade classification shall beused in this classification system.4.2 The melt-flow rate can vary within a given group, class,and grade and can overl

24、ap classes or grades. For this reason,the melt-flow rate shall be specified using Suffix V.4.2.1 Although the values listed in Suffix V are necessary toinclude the range of properties available in existing materials,users should not infer that every melt-flow rate exists for eachclass or grade.NOTE

25、2An example of this classification system is as follows:The designation PMMA0112 indicates:PMMA = poly(methyl methacrylate) as found in Terminology D 1600,01 = unmodified (group),1 = minimum 77C Vicat, etc. (class) and2 = ultraviolet transmitting (grade).(See Note 4 for a more complete example.)NOTE

26、 3Major industries using these materials now require interna-tionally accepted test methods for product specifications. For this reason,ISO test methods have been used in Table 3 and elsewhere in thisclassification system where appropriate. Similar ASTM standards havebeen listed in Section 2. Many o

27、f these ASTM standards are now or soonwill be equivalent. In future editions, a note in the ASTM standard willindicate the degree of equivalency with a particular international standard.The corresponding ASTM test method may be substituted as long as thespecimen size and all other conditions of the

28、test method noted in thisclassification system as applying to the ISO test method are also appliedto the ASTM standard.4.3 Grade 1 materials are used where special ultraviolettransmission, filtering, or stabilization characteristics are notrequired.4.4 Grade 2 materials are used for those specialize

29、d appli-cations in which the greatest amount of transmission of UVlight is required. The transmission properties are given in Table1.4.5 Grade 3 materials (transparent UV stabilized or trans-parent UV absorbing) are used when either special resistance toslight color change over long exposure times o

30、r high-intensityUV radiation is required, or when the material is required tofilter out ultraviolet light. These applications are varied andrequire specific light transmission or color-stability propertiesto be specified by the user.3Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W.
