1、Designation: D5675 13Standard Classification forLow Molecular Weight PTFE and FEP Micronized Powders1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5675; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. 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 provides a method of ad-equately identifying low molecular weight polytetrafluoroeth-ylene (PTFE) and
3、 fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) mi-cronized powders using a system consistent with that ofClassification System D4000. It further provides a means forspecifying these materials by the use of a simple line calloutdesignation. This classification covers fluoropolymer micron-ized powders that are
4、 used as lubricants and as additives toother materials in order to improve lubricity or to control othercharacteristics of the base material.1.2 These powders are sometimes known as lubricant pow-ders. The powders usually have a much smaller particle sizethan those used for molding or extrusion, and
5、 they generallyare not processed alone. The test methods and propertiesincluded are those required to identify and specify the varioustypes of fluoropolymer micronized powders. Recycled fluo-ropolymer materials meeting the detailed requirements of thisclassification are included (see Guide D7209).1.
6、3 These fluoropolymer micronized powders and the ma-terials designated as filler powders (F) in ISO 12086-1 andISO 12086-2 are equivalent.21.4 The values stated in SI units as detailed in IEEE/ASTMSI-10 are to be regarded as the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety
7、 concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Sample Preparation7.1 Test Samples:7.1.1 For each lot of fluoropolymer micronized powder,collect a suitable sample fo
30、r testing. The sample powder shallbe at the standard laboratory temperature of 23 6 2C (73.4 63.6F) prior to testing.7.1.2 Screen the powder through a No. 10 hand sieve inorder to break up or remove any lumps. (WarningFluoropolymers have the potential to evolve small quantities ofgaseous products wh
31、en heated above 200C (400F). It ispossible that some of these gases will be harmful. Exhaustventilation must consequently be used whenever the resins areheated above this temperature, as they are during the meltingoperations that are part of this classification. Since the tem-perature of burning tob
32、acco exceeds 200C, those workingwith fluoropolymer resins shall ensure that the tobacco is notcontaminated.)8. Test Methods8.1 Melting Characteristics by Thermal Analysis:8.1.1 Significance and UseMost of the PTFE resins thatfall within the scope of this classification have never beenmelted.An excep
33、tion is Group 01 Class 6 micronized powders.However, these micronized powders generally do not havehigher melting peak temperatures upon initial melting thanupon second or subsequent meltings. Except for Group 01Class 4 and 5 powder, melting-peak temperatures cannot beused to determine whether the P
34、TFE resins have been meltedpreviously. Melting peak temperatures are used to determinethe conformance of a micronized powder to the melting peaktemperature requirements given in Table 1 of this classifica-tion.8.1.2 ApparatusUse the apparatus described in TestMethod D4591.8.1.3 ProcedureMeasure the
35、melting peak temperatures inaccordance with the procedures given in Test Method D4591.An initial melting peak temperature above the melting peaktemperature obtained on the second and subsequent melting(defined as the second melting peak temperature) probablyindicates that the PTFE resin is Group 01,
36、 Classes 5 and 6micronized powder. The second melting peak temperatureoccurs at approximately 327C (621F). The difference be-tween the initial and second melting peak temperatures isusually greater than 5C (9F) but might be slightly less. Thereis no significant difference between the initial and sec
37、ondmelting peak temperatures for all of the other fluoropolymermicronized powders. If peak temperatures are difficult todiscern from the curves because the peaks are rounded, straightlines shall be drawn tangent to the sides of the peak. The peaktemperature shall be taken to be where these lines int
38、ersectbeyond the peak.8.2 Melt Flow Rate:8.2.1 Test MethodDetermine the melt flow rate at 372 61C using a modification of the extrusion plastometer de-scribed in Test Method D1238. Measure flow rate using a loadof 5000 or 10000 g.8.2.2 ApparatusThe apparatus shall consist of an extru-sion plastomete
39、r, described in Test Method D1238, modified byuse of corrosion-resistant5alloy for the barrel lining, orifice,orifice securing device, and piston tip.8.2.3 Measurement of Flow RateProceed in accordancewith Test Method D1238 using the appropriate sample weightand testing time from Table 2 of Test Met
40、hod D1238. The testtemperature shall be 372 6 1C and the load of 5000 or 10000g in accordance with Table 1 of this classification.8.3 Specific GravityMeasure specific gravity using theprocedures described in Test Method A of Test Method D854,except use Isopar K6instead of water in order to provide p
41、roperwetting of the powder.8.4 Water Content:8.4.1 Significance and UseThe presence of an excessiveamount of water in fluoropolymer resin has a significantadverse effect on the processing characteristics of the resin andthe quality of the products made using the resin. A sample ofthe powder of known
42、 weight is dried in a vacuum oven in atared aluminum weighing dish. When the powder is dry, it isremoved from the oven, placed in a desiccator, allowed to cool,and then reweighed. The water content is calculated from theweight lost during drying.8.4.2 ApparatusUse the apparatus described in Specific
43、a-tion D4895.8.5 Particle SizeMeasure particle size using the proce-dures described in Test Method D4464, except use methanolinstead of water.8.6 Surface AreaMeasure surface area using the proce-dures described in Test Method D4567, except use a 20-mindegas period at 200C rather than 60 min at 300C.
44、8.7 Bulk DensityMeasure bulk density using the proce-dures described in Specification D4895.9. Inspection and Certification9.1 Inspection and certification of the material supplied withreference to a specification based on this classification systemshall be for conformance to the requirements specif
45、ied herein.9.2 Lot acceptance shall be the basis on which acceptance orrejection of the lot is made. The lot-acceptance inspection shallconsist of particle size determination.9.3 Periodic check inspection with reference to a specifica-tion based on this classification system shall consist of the tes
