EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D2103 testing. This standard covers the classification of sheets up to 0,3 mm (0,012 inch) thick, including polyethylene film and sheet.
The film or sheet may contain additives to improve surface properties, pigments or stabilizers, or combinations thereof.
Film is defined in Terminology D883 as an optional term for coating with a nominal thickness of not more than 0,254 mm (0,010 inch).
This specification covers the classification of polyethylene film and coating. Recycled polyethylene film or resin may be used as feedstock and the film or sheet may contain additives, pigments or stabilizers or a combination thereof to improve surface property, but must comply with specified requirements.
The material covered in this specification will be identified by a five-digit type number with each number (0 to 5) indicating the cell boundary including density, impact strength, coefficient of kinetic friction, turbidity and nominal thickness. falls under the material.
The sheet or film shall be produced, to the extent commercially possible, free from gels, streaks, pinholes, foreign matter particles and undispersed raw materials and without other visible defects such as holes, tears or bubbles.
There should be no nicks or cuts on the edges of the sheet or film. The surface of the sheet or film can also be treated by flame, corona discharge or other means to improve surface properties. Tests should be carried out to determine the density, impact strength, coefficient of kinetic friction, turbidity and nominal thickness of the material and comply with the specified requirements.
Values stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values in parentheses are for informational purposes only.
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.
This specification permits the use of fully or partially recycled polyethylene film or resin as raw material, as long as all requirements governed by the manufacturer and the end user are met.
