What is ISO 9113 - Isotactic index of polypropylene (PP) and propylene-copolymer thermoplastics about ?
ISO 9113 discusses plastics. ISO 9113 specifies a method for determining the percentage of matter which can be extracted from crystalline propylene plastics by boiling n-heptane under standard conditions of testing.
The isotactic index is determined by conventional chemical extraction as an absolute method. This method provides for the identification and coding of types H, B and R propylene plastics according to ISO 190691. This method starts with solid propylene plastics in the form of particles of specified fineness.
Note: This method is suitable only for base polymers and is not applicable for mixtures.
Who is ISO 9113 - Isotactic index of polypropylene (PP) and propylene-copolymer thermoplastics for ?
ISO 9113 on the isotactic index of polypropylene (PP) and propylene-copolymer thermoplastics is useful for:
- Manufacturers of plastic packaging
- Manufacturers of plastic products
- Testing laboratories
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 9113 - Isotactic index of polypropylene (PP) and propylene-copolymer thermoplastics ?
Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar. Its properties are like polyethene, but it is slightly harder and more heat resistant. It is a white, mechanically rugged material and has a high chemical resistance.
ISO 9113 provides you with a method to determine the percentage of matter which can be extracted from crystalline propylene plastics by boiling n-heptane. ISO 9113 guides you with apparatus and provides you guidance on the test procedures. ISO 9113 also guides you with the calculation and expression of results and provides you with a method for the calculation of isotactic index (II). ISO 9113 helps you to produce high-quality plastics products.
