ISO 24023-2 is the second part of the multi-series ISO 24023 about PVC plastics. PVC is a dynamic synthetic material that finds uses in a wide variety of applications such as window frames, drainage pipes, medical devices, blood storage bags, cable and wire insulation, and many more.
ISO 24023-2 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be used in determining the properties of PVC-P moulding and extrusion materials. ISO 24023-2 gives the requirements for handling test materials and for conditioning both the test material before moulding and the specimens before testing.
ISO 24023-2 on PVC-P moulding and extrusion materials is useful for:
Polyvinyl, also known as poly (vinyl chloride) or PVC, is a widely produced synthetic plastic. It is a very versatile and cost-efficient thermoplastic of good dimensional stability and impact strength (when plasticized), and excellent weathering properties.
ISO 24023-2 gives procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and procedures for measuring the properties of the materials from which these specimens are made. ISO 24023-2 lists properties and test methods that are suitable and necessary to characterize PVC-P moulding and extrusion materials.
Using the tests elaborated in ISO 24023-2, you will be able to assess the suitability of the PVC specimen for your manufacturing needs.
