La présente partie de l'ISO 14528 spécifie les caractéristiques physiques et chimiques des poudres à mouler à
base de mélamine-formaldéhyde (MF-PMC) et des éprouvettes moulées par injection ou par compression,
produites à partir de ces poudres.
Elle se limite aux poudres à mouler dont la composition et les propriétés diffèrent de manière significative. En
outre, elle ne concerne que les poudres à mouler dont l'importance technique et/ou économique est assez
générale.
Les propriétés qui sont utilisées pour caractériser les poudres à mouler, ainsi que les méthodes et conditions
d'essai, sont choisies parmi celles indiquées dans l'ISO 14528-2.
Les poudres à mouler sont réparties en différents types selon leur composition et leurs propriétés. Ces divers types
sont désignés en utilisant le système de désignation défini dans l'ISO 14528-1.

Overview
EN ISO 14528-3:1999 outlines the requirements for selected melamine-formaldehyde powder moulding compounds (MF-PMCs) used in the plastics industry. This standard, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in alignment with ISO directives, focuses on the physical and chemical properties of MF-PMCs and the test specimens produced via compression or injection moulding.
The standard addresses compounds with significantly different compositions and properties that hold general technical or economic importance. It supplements the designation system and test methods stipulated in related parts of ISO 14528, providing essential specifications for quality assurance in manufacturing and application of melamine-formaldehyde powder moulding compounds.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
EN ISO 14528-3 is limited to selected MF-PMCs that differ in composition and performance characteristics, ensuring relevance to widely used commercial materials.Property Requirements
The standard specifies mandatory physical and chemical property limits for MF-PMCs, including:- Mechanical properties such as stress at break, flexural strength, and Charpy impact strength
- Thermal properties including temperature of deflection under load
- Flammability ratings concerning glowbar tests
- Electrical properties like volume resistivity, surface resistivity, dissipation factor, and proof tracking index
- Additional criteria such as water absorption and extractable formaldehyde content
Classification System
Moulding compounds are categorized by filler type and content (e.g., long glass fibers, mica, or other fillers), with designations based on ISO 14528-1, facilitating uniform identification and comparison.Testing Protocols
The test specimens are prepared as per methods in ISO 14528-2, ensuring standardized evaluation of compound properties for product development and quality control.
Applications
EN ISO 14528-3 is critical for industries that manufacture or utilize melamine-formaldehyde powder moulding compounds, including:
Electrical and Electronics
High-volume resistivity and proof tracking index make MF-PMCs suitable for electrical insulating components.Automotive and Aerospace
Mechanical strength and thermal stability requirements ensure the compounds meet demanding criteria for under-the-hood or structural parts.Consumer Goods
Durable and flame-retardant compounds support the production of household appliances, kitchenware, and decorative items.Industrial Moulding
Compatibility with both compression and injection moulding processes allows manufacturers flexibility in production-enabling consistent, high-quality molded parts.
Manufacturers and users benefit from adherence to EN ISO 14528-3 through improved reliability, material traceability, and compliance with global quality standards.
Related Standards
- ISO 14528-1: Establishes the designation system and basis for specifications for MF-PMCs
- ISO 14528-2: Covers preparation of test specimens and determination of physical and chemical properties
- ISO 2112:1990: Technical revision replaced by the three parts of ISO 14528, focusing on aminoplastic moulding materials
- ISO 472:1999: Provides plastics vocabulary, essential for consistent terminology across ISO plastics standards
- Other national standards such as ASTM D704, BS1322, DIN 7708-3, and JIS K6917 align with or reference EN ISO 14528-3 for MF-PMC specifications
By implementing EN ISO 14528-3:1999, organizations ensure that melamine-formaldehyde powder moulding compounds meet internationally recognized quality benchmarks-facilitating global trade, improving product performance, and supporting innovation across multiple sectors involving thermosetting plastics.
