Textile-glass-reinforced plastics - Prepregs, moulding compounds and laminates - Determination of the textile-glass and mineral-filler content using calcination methods

This document specifies two calcination methods for the determination of the textile glass and mineral filler content of glass-reinforced plastics:

—     Method A: for the determination of the textile glass content when no mineral fillers are present.

—     Method B: for the determination of the textile-glass and mineral-filler content when both components are present.

This document is applicable to the following types of material:

—     prepregs made from yarns, rovings, tapes or fabrics;

—     SMC, BMC and DMC moulding compounds;

—     textile-glass-reinforced thermoplastic moulding materials and granules;

—     filled or unfilled textile-glass laminates made with thermosetting or thermoplastic resins.

The methods do not apply to the following types of reinforced plastic:

—     those containing reinforcements other than textile glass;

—     those containing materials which do not completely burn off at the test temperature (for example, those based on silicone resin);

—     those containing mineral fillers which degrade at temperatures below the minimum calcination temperature.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
