GB/T 21460.1-2025 Plastics—Styrene-acrylonitrile(SAN) moulding and extrusion materials—Part 1:Designation system and basis for specifications
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies a naming system for styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) thermoplastic materials, which serves as the basis for classification. Different types of SAN plastic materials are distinguished by a classification system based on the values of specified characteristic properties, recommended applications and/or processing methods, important performance characteristics, additives, colorants, fillers, and reinforcing materials, as follows: a) Vicat softening temperature; b) Melt mass flow rate. This document applies to all copolymers of styrene and/or substituted styrene with an acrylonitrile content of 5% to 50%. It applies to materials typically in powder, granular, or crushed form, unmodified or modified with colorants, additives, fillers, etc. This document does not apply to foamed materials. This document does not imply that materials with the same name must have the same performance. It does not provide the engineering data, performance data, or process parameters required to describe the special applications and/or processing methods of the materials. When necessary, these additional properties should be determined using the test methods specified in GB/T 21460.2.
