PLASTICS - THERMOSETTING MOULDING MATERIALS - DETERMINATION OF SHRINKAGE (ISO 2577:2007, MOD)
This Malaysian Standard specifies a method of determining the moulding shrinkage and the shrinkage after hear treatment of moulded test specimens of thermosetting moulding materials. These characteristics are useful for the production control of thermosetting material and for checking uniformity of manufacture. Furthermore, knowledge of the initial shrinkage of thermosetting materials is important for the construction of moulds, and knowledge of post-shrinkage for establishing the suitability of the moulding material for the manufacture of moulded pieces with accurate dimensions.
