Standard Specification for Epoxy Molding Compounds

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers requirements for epoxy thermosetting molding compounds. It provides for their identification, quality control, and purchase in such a manner that the purchaser and the seller can agree on the substantial similarity of different commercial lots or shipments.

1.2 The compounds covered under this specification consist of mixtures or blends of epoxy resins and curing agents intimately combined, in an unreacted or partially reacted condition, with fillers, reinforcements, colorants, and other chemical agents.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

Note 1: The properties included in this specification are those required to identify the kinds of molding compounds covered. There may be other requirements necessary to define particular characteristics. These will be added to the specification as their inclusion becomes generally desirable and the necessary test data and methods become available.

Note 2: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International StandardDetails, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
