1.1 This specification covers requirements for extruded- and compression-molded sheeting made from low-, medium- and high-density polyethylenes and copolymers in thickness of 0.25 mm [0.010 in.] and greater. Sheeting conforming to this specification is intended for use in the thinner gages principally for chemical tank linings, spacers in electrical equipment, and for thermoforming into such items as trays, pallets, and shipping containers. The thicker gages are used principally as machine-shop stock.
1.2 Polyethylene materials, being thermoplastics, are reprocessable and recyclable (see Guide D 5033). This specification allows for the use of those polyethylene plastic materials, provided that any specific requirements as governed by the producer and end user are met.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in brackets are for information only.
Note 1
There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.
