This classification system tabulates the properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in automotive applications. For the purposes of this document a TPE is defined as a polymeric material that, without further chemical modification, is capable of recovering from deformations quickly and forcibly and is also capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling within a temperature range characteristic of the material. When the TPE product is to be used for purposed where the requirements are too specific to be completely prescribed by this classification system, it is necessary for the plurchaser to consult the supplier in advance to establish the apropriate propeties, test methods, and specification test limits. This classification system is based on the premise that the properties of TPEs can be arranged into characteristic material designations.

Except as otherwise specified in these methods, the following ASTM test methods and the various test methods in Table 3, applicable in general to vulcanized rubber, shall be complied with as required and are hereby made a part of these methods:

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a system for marking thermoset rubber parts to designate the general type of material from which the part was fabricated.

The scope of this document is to define a test method for performing the Compression Stress Relaxation (CSR) Test with the Automotive Standard (ASD) CSR Jig using the appropriate test fixtures, configurations and procedures. This standard defines the equipment needed, guidelines for running the test, and the format for generating the results and analyzing the data.

This SAE Standard specifies requirements for vulcanized rubbers in sheet form for use as standards in characterizing the effect of test liquids and service fluids. The appendices contain the standard reference elastomer formulas. The property changes of the SRE in contact with the indicated fluid under specified test conditions are the responsibility of the user. See 7.3 and Table 1. This standard is not designed to provide formulations of elastomeric product compositions for actual service.

This SAE Standard provides a system for specifying significant material properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in automotive applications. In all cases where provisions of this classification system would conflict with those of the detailed specifications for a particular product, the latter shall take precedence. This classification is based on SI units.

This SAE Standard provides a system for specifying significant material properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in automotive applications. NOTE 1—For the purposes of this document a TPE is defined as a polymeric material that, without further chemical modifications, is capable of recovering from deformations quickly and forcibly and is also capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling within a temperature range characteristic of the material. NOTE 2—When the TPE product is to be used for purposes where the requirements are too specific to be completely prescribed by this classification system, it is necessary for the purchaser to consult the supplier in advance to establish the appropriate properties, test methods, and specification test limits.

This method is intended to define the continuous upper temperature resistance (CUTR) of thermoplastic elastomers and thermoset rubber with durometer hardness ≤90 Shore A, to oxidation or other degradation when exposed solely to hot air for an extended period of time.
