ASTM International Standard Classification System and Basis for Specification for Extruded and Compression Molded Shapes Made from Polycarbonate (PC) (Withdrawn 2025) ASTM D6098-16

This specification establishes the classification, requirements, and test methods for extruded and compression molded plates, rods, and tubular bars manufactured from polycarbonate or recycled plastics. This specification does not cover materials used in glazing and signage. Rather, it is intended to be a means of calling out mechanical grade plastic products used for fabrication of end items or parts. The polycarbonate shape products may be categorized by type, grade, and class depending on resin and filler compositions. Appropriately sampled specimens shall be tested and conform accordingly to the following properties: tensile strength at break, elongation at break, and tangent tensile modulus; size and dimensional stability; lengthwise camber and widthwise bow; squareness; flexural modulus; and Izod impact strength.
