ASTM

• Diversity: ASTM standards cover a wide range of materials and processes, including mechanical properties, chemical resistance and environmental influences.

• Reliability: the standards are designed to ensure reproducible and reliable results, which makes them an important basis for quality control in industry.

• International recognition: ASTM standards are recognised and used worldwide, which helps companies serve global markets and meet international requirements.

• Material testing: ASTM standards are often used to test the physical and chemical properties of rubber and plastics in order to assess their quality and suitability for various applications.

• Certification: companies that manufacture or sell products use ASTM standards to demonstrate that their materials comply with the specified requirements.

• Research and development: in research, ASTM standards are used to test new materials and develop innovative products.

• ASTM D412: tests the tensile strength and elongation of elastomeric materials.

• ASTM D2240: determines the Shore hardness of elastic materials.

• ASTM D395: evaluates the compression set of elastomeric materials.

ASTM standards are indispensable for the rubber and plastics industry, as they provide a uniform basis for material testing and quality assurance. Complying with these standards helps companies meet market requirements and ensure the reliability of their products.
