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 13000-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9, Thermoplastic
materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13000-1:1997), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 13000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
semi-finished products:
— Part 1: Requirements and designation
— Part 2: Preparation of test specimens and determination of properties

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13000-1:2005(E)

Plastics — Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-finished
products —
Part 1:
Requirements and designation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13000 specifies the requirements for processed unfilled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
products, which may occur in several forms. The PTFE used to make the semi-finished product is described in
ISO 12086-1 and, as provided in ISO 12086-1, may contain up to 1 % of a comonomer. The PTFE used to
make the semi-finished product may be virgin, reprocessed or recycled resin. The addition of up to 1,5 % by
mass of pigment or colorant is permitted. This part of ISO 13000 allows for four grades based on tensile
strength and elongation at break. The semi-finished products can be as-processed (type P) or dimensionally
stabilized (type S) and may also have specified electrical properties or other properties when they are required
for an application.
NOTE References to other standard specifications for semi-finished products made from polytetrafluoroethylene are
listed in Annex A for information.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terminology
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 13000, the terms and definitions given in ISO 472 and ISO 12086-1 and
the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO 13000-1:2005(E)
3.1.1
moulded basic shape
〈PTFE〉 semi-finished product made by preforming and sintering without additional processing
3.1.2
semi-finished product
material, in the form of skived tape, sheets, rods, tubes, tubing, moulded basic shapes or special shapes, that
is produced for use either directly without further fabrication or in fabricating end use products, or both
3.1.3
skived tape
film or sheet prepared by cutting, slicing or shaving
NOTE The term “veneered tape” is deprecated.
3.2 Abbreviated terms and symbols
The abbreviated terms given in ISO 1043-1 are applicable to this part of ISO 13000.
4 Requirements for PTFE semi-finished products
4.1 General
After considering the specific shape, dimensions and dimensional tolerances, the primary basis for specifying
a semi-finished product of PTFE is the tensile strength and percentage elongation at break of the product.
Tests to determine the values for specification shall be run in accordance with the methods in ISO 13000-2.
The semi-finished product is identified as “type P” for as-processed or “type S” for stabilized and also may be
designated as “type E” with specified electrical properties when required for a particular application. The
exclusion of the use of reprocessed or recycled material shall be specified if needed in order to meet special
customer requirements. The values required for other properties are given in their respective subclauses.
