Abstract

ISO 25137-1:2009 establishes a system of designation for sulfone polymer moulding and extrusion materials, including polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PESU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), which may be used as the basis for specifications.
The types of sulfone plastic are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties
temperature of deflection under load,
melt mass-flow rate,
Charpy notched impact strength,
tensile modulus and
yield stress,
and on information about composition, intended application and/or method of processing, important properties, additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials.
This part of ISO 25137 is applicable to all sulfone polymers that contain ether oxygen, which is a necessary component of the polymers as in the diphenyl sulfone moiety.
It applies to sulfone polymer materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets, unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 25137-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9, Thermoplastic
materials.
ISO 25137 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Sulfone polymer moulding and
extrusion materials:
⎯ Part 1: Designation system and basis for specifications
⎯ Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties

Designation system and basis for specifications
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 25137 establishes a system of designation for sulfone polymer moulding and extrusion
materials, including polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PESU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), which may
be used as the basis for specifications.
1.2 The types of sulfone polymer materials are differentiated from each other by a classification system
based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties
a) temperature of deflection under load,
b) melt mass-flow rate,
c) Charpy notched impact strength,
d) tensile modulus and
e) yield stress,
and on information about composition, intended application and/or method of processing, important properties,
additives, colorants, fillers and reinforcing materials.
1.3 This part of ISO 25137 is applicable to all sulfone polymers that contain ether oxygen, which is a
necessary component of the polymers as in the diphenyl sulfone moiety.
It applies to sulfone polymer materials ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets,
unmodified or modified by colorants, additives, fillers, etc.
1.4 It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation necessarily give the same
performance. This part of ISO 25137 does not provide engineering data, performance data or data on
processing conditions which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of
processing.
If such additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods
specified in Part 2 of this International Standard, if suitable.
