ASTM D5138 Testing for Molding and Extrusion Materials (LCP) of Liquid Crystal Polymers

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D5138 testing. This classification system covers liquid crystal polymeric (LCP) materials suitable for injection molding and extrusion.

This classification system permits the use of recycled, reconstituted, recycled-regrind, recovered or reprocessed liquid crystal polymers or a combination thereof, provided that the requirements set forth in this classification system are met.

It is the responsibility of the supplier and purchaser of any recycled, reconstituted, recycled-remilled, recovered or reprocessed liquid crystal polymers or a combination thereof to ensure compliance.

The properties contained in this classification system are those necessary to identify the compositions covered. Other requirements necessary to define certain features that are important for specific applications are permitted.

This classification system and subsequent line description are intended as a way of specifying plastic materials used in the manufacture of end-use items or parts. It is not designed for material selection. Material selection can be made by experts in the field of plastics after careful consideration of the design and performance required of the part, the environment to which it will be exposed, the manufacturing process to be used, the associated costs and inherent features.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
