What is ISO 13000-1 about?
ISO 13000-1 discusses about Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-finished products. ISO 13000-1 specifies general requirements, dimensions, and dimensional tolerances for PTFE semi-finished products and establishes a system of designation for processed, unfilled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) products, which can occur in several forms.
ISO 13000-1 gives specifications about tensile strength and percentage elongation at break, dimensional stability, density, hardness, dielectric strength (DS) for various PTFE semi-finished products.
Note: The PTFE used to make the semi-finished products are virgin, reprocessed, or recycled resin. The addition of up to 1.5 % by mass of pigment or colorant can be used.
Who is ISO 13000-1 for?
ISO 13000-1 on poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-finished products is for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of PTFE products
- Testing laboratories/ test providers for PTFE products
- Plastic manufacturing & processing companies
Why should you use ISO 13000-1?
Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE is a multi-purpose fluoropolymer that is highly efficient, loaded with good qualities, and is a cost-effective solution, thus proving to be useful in various applications such as non-stick coating in kitchen cookware, oil & gas industries, chemical processing etc.
ISO 13000-1 gives you technical specifications and requirements as well as an elaborated format for presenting the designation for various semi-finished PTFE products that helps you in assuring the high calibre of your polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) products to your customers.
