This specification focuses on the classification, and requirements and test methods for the material and properties of solid plastic shapes manufactured from ultra-high-molecular
-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE), both virgin and recycled. The properties included in this specification are those required for the compositions covered and are derived from molded samples or fabricated from sheet, rod and profiles. The mechanical properties for which the materials shall be tested on and shall accordingly adhere to are elongation stress, elongation at break, and Izod impact strength.
