scope:

Material Description. This specification covers the properties of a flexible, heat stabilized, calcium carbonate filled, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Homopolymer, pellet form, extrusion or injection molding compound. Materials are delineated by "Type" indicating Shore A hardness and "Grade", indicating the intended molding process.

Symbols. The material abbreviation according to ISO 11469 is > PVC <.

Typical Applications. Typical applications include, but are not restricted to automotive roof and moveable roof drain hoses and drain hose connectors.

Identification. PVC materials approved to this specification will be called out on the engineering drawing indicating both attributes shown in Tables A1 and A2, e.g., GMW16575P-PVC-Type X-Grade X. In addition, if the nominal production Shore hardness for a component is different than the nominal Type stated herein, it shall be called out specifically on the engineering drawing or in the math data, e.g., Type 1 = 60 ± 5 Shore A, but 62 Shore A is being used, 62 ± X Shore A hardness shall be called out.
