ASTM D4477 Standard Test for Hard (Not Plasticized) Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Substrate

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D4477 testing. This standard specifies the physical requirements and test methods for extruded single-walled substrates manufactured from rigid (unplasticized) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) compounds.

When extruded to the substrate, the PVC compound will maintain uniform color and be free from any visual surface or structural changes such as peeling, chipping, cracking, flaking or pitting. Materials must be tested and conform to requirements for size (length, width and thickness), camber, initial impact resistance, coefficient of linear expansion, gloss, deflection and color.

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for materials, dimensions, camber, impact strength, expansion and appearance of an extruded single-walled substrate manufactured from a rigid (unplasticized) PVC compound. Methods of demonstrating compliance with this specification are also provided.

The use of PVC recycled plastic in this product will comply with the requirements of Chapter 4. The substrate produced according to this standard will be installed in accordance with Application D4756. Reference should also be made to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the specific product to be installed.

Values ​​stated in inches-pounds will be considered standard. Values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions of non-standard SI units, provided for informational purposes only.

This international standard has been developed in accordance with internationally accepted standardization principles set out in the Resolution on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations published by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
