ISO 24022-2 is the second part of the multi-series ISO 24022 on PS moulding and extrusion materials. ISO 24022-2 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be used in determining the properties of polystyrene (PS) moulding and extrusion materials.
PS is a dynamic material used for manufacturing a wide variety of products such as disposable cutlery, license plate frames, smoke detector housings, and plastic model assembly kits, among others.
ISO 24022-2 gives requirements for handling test material and for conditioning both the test material before moulding and the specimens before testing.
ISO 24022-2 on the PS moulding and extrusion materials is useful for:
PS plastic is a naturally transparent thermoplastic that is available as both a solid plastic as well in the form of a rigid foam material. ISO 24022-2 specifies the 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 24022-2 lists the properties and test methods that are suitable and necessary to characterize PS moulding and extrusion materials.
Using ISO 24022-2, you will be able to determine the properties of your specimens; and take manufacturing decisions accordingly.
