This classification system covers polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) plastics that consist of at least 90% chlorotrifluoroethylene and are suitable for extrusion and for compression and injection molding. The remaining 10% may include chemical modifications, such as co-monomers, but not colorants, fillers, plasticizers, or mechanical blends with other resins. PCTFE materials in powders and pellets are classified into one group. The group is subdivided into classes based on chemical composition: Class 1; Class 2; and Class 3. These classes are subdivided into grades: Grades 1, 2, 3, and 0; Grades 1, 2, and 0; and Grades 1, 2, and 0; respectively. The molding or extrusion material shall be of uniform composition and so compounded as to conform to the requirements of this classification system. The properties shall be determined in accordance with the following test methods: conditioning; zero strength time; test conditions; deformation under load; melting point; dissipation factor and dielectric constant; and specific gravity.
