Es legt die zum Identifizieren thermoplastischer Elastomere in der Industrie, im Handel und auf Regierungsebene verwendeten Symbole und Kurzzeichen fest. Ziel ist es nicht, mit bestehenden Handelsnamen und (geschützten) Warenzeichen in Konflikt zu kommen, sondern diese zu ergänzen.
ANMERKUNG 1 In technischen Dokumenten und Präsentationen soll der Name des thermoplastischen Elastomers gefolgt von dem in diesem Dokument zum Bezeichnen des Elastomers verwendeten Kurzzeichen verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Anhang A gibt Kurzzeichen für thermoplastische Elastomere an, die in der Vergangenheit in Werk¬stoffnormen, technischen Bulletins, Lehrbüchern, Patenten und der Fachliteratur verwendet wurden.
Élastomères thermoplastiques - Nomenclature et termes abrégés (ISO 18064:2022)
Le présent document établit un système de nomenclature des élastomères thermoplastiques fondé sur la composition chimique du polymère ou des polymères concernés. Il spécifie les symboles et les termes abrégés utilisés pour identifier les élastomères thermoplastiques dans l'industrie, le commerce et le secteur public. Il est destiné à compléter plutôt qu'à concurrencer les dénominations commerciales et les marques de commerce existantes.
NOTE 1 Le nom de l'élastomère thermoplastique est destiné à être utilisé dans les documents et présentations techniques, suivi du terme abrégé utilisé pour désigner l’élastomère dans le présent document.
NOTE 2 L'Annexe A donne les termes abrégés des élastomères thermoplastiques utilisés par le passé dans des normes relatives aux matériaux, dans des bulletins techniques, dans des livres scolaires, dans des brevets et dans des documentations commerciales.
Plastomerni elastomeri - Nomenklatura in okrajšave (ISO 18064:2022)
Ta dokument vzpostavlja sistem nomenklature za plastomerne elastomere na osnovi kemične sestave določenega polimera oziroma polimerov. Določa simbole in okrajšave izrazov, ki se uporabljajo za označevanje plastomernih elastomerov v industrijskem, trgovinskem in vladnem sektorju. Njegov namen ni nasprotovati obstoječim trgovskim imenom in blagovnim znamkam, temveč jih dopolniti.
OPOMBA 1: Ime plastomernega elastomera se predvidoma uporablja v tehničnih dokumentih in predstavitvah, sledi pa mu okrajšava izraza, ki se uporablja za označevanje elastomera v zadevnem dokumentu.
OPOMBA 2: V dodatku A so navedene okrajšave izrazov za plastomerne elastomere, ki so se v preteklosti uporabljale v standardih za materiale, tehničnih biltenih, učbenikih, patentih in strokovni literaturi.

Overview
EN ISO 18064:2022 - Thermoplastic elastomers - Nomenclature and abbreviated terms (ISO 18064:2022), published by CEN/ISO, establishes a standardized nomenclature and abbreviated-term system for thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). The document defines how TPEs are named and abbreviated in industry, commerce and government based on the chemical composition of the polymer(s) involved. It supplements commercial trade names and trademarks and is intended for use in technical papers, presentations, datasheets and standards.
Key topics and requirements
- Nomenclature system: All thermoplastic elastomer abbreviated terms begin with the prefix TP followed by a letter indicating the TPE category (Clause 4). Specific members are described after a hyphen by symbols that reflect polymer chemistry (Clause 6).
- TPE categories (Clause 5): TPA, TPC, TPO, TPS, TPU, TPV, TPZ - each defined by chemical structure (for example, TPV = thermoplastic elastomer vulcanizate; TPA = thermoplastic polyamide elastomer).
- TPO definitions: Includes both block copolymer types and polyolefin/rubber mixtures with little or no crosslinking.
- Compounded materials: For TPO and TPS compounds, the suffix -M is used to indicate compounding (Clause 4.3).
- Consistency and legacy terms: Annex A lists formerly used abbreviated terms to help map historic literature, standards, patents and trade literature to the current nomenclature.
- Normative references: The standard references ISO 1043‑1 (plastics symbols) and ISO 1629 (rubber nomenclature) and is aligned to avoid conflicts with existing polymer and rubber standards.
Applications and users
This standard is practical for:
- Materials engineers & product designers - consistent specification and comparison of TPE materials.
- Compounders and polymer producers - standardized labelling, datasheets and technical literature.
- Testing laboratories & quality departments - unambiguous identification for test reports.
- Procurement, regulatory bodies & standards committees - clear material classification in procurement specs, regulations and standards.
- Authors of technical papers, patents and textbooks - recommended format (name followed by the abbreviated term).
Practical uses include material selection, product specification, labelling, regulatory documentation, and harmonizing terminology across rubber and plastics industries.
