The selection of these materials is to be made by personnel with expertise in the plastics field where the environment, inherent properties of the ‘materials, performance of the part part design, manufacturing process, and economics are considered, 1. Scope LLL This specification covers polypropylene materials suit- able for injection molding and extrusion, Polymers consist of homopolymer, copolymers, and elastomer compounded with or without the addition of impact modifiers (ethylene-propylene ribber, polyisobutylene rubber, and butyl rubber), colorants, stabilizers, lubricants, or reinforcements 1.2 This specification allows for the use of those polypro- pylene materials that can be recycled, reconstituted, and reground, provided that: (/) the requirements as stated in this specification are met, and (2) the material has not been ‘modified in any way to alter its conformance to food contact regulations or similar requirements. The proportions of recycled, reconstituted, and reground material used, as well as the nature and the amount of any contaminant, cannot be practically covered in this specification, Its the responsibility of the supplier and the buyer of recycled, reconstituted, and reground materials to ensure compliance. (See Guide D7209.) 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard, Nore 1—The properties includ in his specification are those cequired to identify the compositions covered.

One where the puncture of the test plague does not have cracks radiating more than 10 mm beyond the center of the impact point. 3.2.7 injection pressure, n—the constant pressure that is applied to the end of the screw causing the melted material 16 {ill the mold, The injection pressure along with the injection speed determines the volumetric fll rate of the mol, 3.28 injection speed, n—the forward velocity of the screw uring the injection step, 3.2.8.1 Discussion—Injection speed is a set position on the injection molding machine ranging trom slow to fast. The injection speed along with the injection pressure determines the volumette fil rate of the mold, 3.2.9 injection time, n—the time in which a constant speci fied pressure is applied to the melted material 3.2.10 melt emperature, nthe temperature of the material as itis being injected into the mold, measured by a pyrometer, 3.2.11 mold open rime, m—the time beginning when the ‘mold is opened and ending when the mold is closed. 3.2.12 mold temperature, n—the temperat during the molding cycle, measured in all mold both platens. 3.2.13 polypropylene (PP}—a propylene plastic prepared by the polymerization of propylene or propylene with other alpha. olefins, (See also PP-B, PP-H, and PP-R.) 3.2.14 polypropylene heterophasie copolymers (PP-B, PP+EPR, or PP+EPDM)—a propylene plastic consisting of of the mold wvities and on ‘ovo or more separate phases, The phases consist of a polypro- pylene homopolymer (PP-H) or a polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) matrix containing a dispersed olefinic elas- (omer having no other functional group, added in situ or physically blended into the polypropylene matrix. 3.2.15 polypropylene homopolymer (PP-H)—a propyl plastic prepared by the polymerization of propylene only 3.2.16 polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R)—a propyl- cne plastic containing another olefinic monomer (or mono- ‘mers) having no functional group other than the olefinie group copolymerized with propylene. Polypropylene random copoly~ ‘mers containing more than one additional monomer are often called “terpolymers.” 4.
