ASTM D4000 series

The ASTM D4000 series is a set of standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) that classifies plastics based on their properties. It provides guidelines to categorize various plastic materials by their chemical composition and physical characteristics, helping manufacturers and consumers identify suitable materials for specific applications. This classification system ensures consistency and quality in industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods, allowing for better material selection and compatibility in different products. In essence, it helps everyone understand and choose the right type of plastic for their needs.
