Standard Practice for Determining Degradation End Point in Degradable Polyethylene and Polypropylene Using a Tensile Test

Scope

This standard covers the determination of a degradation-end point (a brittle point) for degradable polyethylene/polypropylene films and sheeting. This standard is not intended for determination of the rate of degree of degradation of a polyethylene/polypropylene film or sheet, but rather, to assess when in the course of its degradation under some condition, a brittle point is reached. This pstandard should not be considered the only way of determining a degradation-end point. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
