ASTM D1418 Standard Practice for Rubber and Rubber Latices Nomenclature

ASTM D1418 is established for a consistent categorization system for basic rubbers in both dry and latex forms based on the chemical composition of the polymer chain. The objective of this system was to provide a general categorization that would be suitable for both current and upcoming rubbers, expressing specific attributes related to the rubber's chemical makeup. In this standard, rubber polymers were separated into eight classes, i.e., M, N, O, R, Q, T, U, and Z. The letter symbols A, B, C, E, F, G, I, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X, and Z are used to represent the substituent groups on the polymer chain or the monomers used to make the polymer.

    Introduction to ASTM D1418

    Using ASTM D1418 protocols, rubbers are categorized according to their chemical makeup. Various classes, monomers, or substituent groups that are present in the polymer chain are denoted by letter symbols. Rubbers in both dry and latex forms may be categorized in a uniform and thorough manner by this methodical technique. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM D1418 tests for our clients. The main goal of ASTM D1418 is to establish uniform terminology to be used in the government sector, industry, and commerce.

    Process of rubber classification in ASTM D1418

    Class DesignationSubclassesTypical Feature
    M ClassACM; AEMA polymethylene-type chain in the rubber
    N ClassNBR; NIRNitrogen in the polymer chain of rubber
    O ClassECO; GECO; GPOOxygen in the polymer chain of rubber
    R ClassABR; BIIR; BR; CIIR; CR; ENR; ENR-G; HNBR; IIR; IR; NBR; NIR; NR; NR-G; PBR; PSBR; SBR; SIRRubbers have an unsaturated carbon chain
    Q ClassFMQ; FVMQ; PMQ; PVMQ; MQ; VMQOxygen and Silicon in the polymer chain of rubbers
    T ClassOTSulfur in the polymer chain of rubber
    U ClassAFMU; AU; EUOxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen in the polymer chain of rubber
    Z ClassFZ, PZPhosphorus and Nitrogen in the polymer chain of rubber.

    Important Considerations

    The class designations for each kind of rubber in a combination of several types are allotted when the mixture is identified. Listing the principal component first and the smaller components after that is the appropriate order. If the component proportions are known, they should be shown using a ratio format. The components are listed alphabetically and separated by a hyphen if the proportions need to be clarified.

    Tests Related to ASTM D1418ASTM D1418 is just like ASTM D1646, which is a standard process that helps measure the Mooney viscosity.
