(Main)Polypropylene twines
Polypropylene twines
This European standard specifies requirements for twines made from polypropylene. It specifies the methods for their manufacture, their physical characteristics, as well as describing test methods to verify these characteristics. This standard allows ultra violet high inhibitors to be added but does not require them to be added. Requirements for the commercial presentation of twines are also specified. This standard does not specify requirements for agricultural twines made of polyolefin, which are covered according to EN 906:1996.
Polypropylen-Bindegarne
Diese Europa(ische Norm legt Anforderungen an Polypropylen-Bindegarne fest. Sie legt die Verfahren der Herstellung, ihre physikalischen Eigenschaften sowie die Pru(fverfahren und Verfahren zur Anpassung dieser Eigenschaften fest. Diese Norm erlaubt den Zusatz von UV-Inhibitoren, verlangt aber des Zusatz nicht. Die Anforderungen fu(r die handelsu(bliche Aufmachung der Bindegarne wird ebenfalls festgelegt. Diese Norm legt nicht die Anforderungen an Polyolefin-Erntegarne fest, die nach EN 906:1996 festgelegt sind.
Ficelles polypropylene
La présente norme européenne fixe les exigences des ficelles en polypropylène. Elle précise les méthodes de fabrication, leurs caractéristiques physiques et $ définit les méthodes d'essai pour les vérifier. Cette norme prévoit que puissent être ajoutés des inhibiteurs ultra-violet mais ne les exige pas. Elle précise également la désignation commerciale des ficelles. La présente norme européenne ne fixe pas les exigences des ficelles agricoles en polyoléfine qui sont spécifiées selon l'EN 906:1996.

Overview
SIST EN 12423:1999 is a European Standard developed by CEN focusing on the requirements for polypropylene twines. This standard outlines the manufacturing specifications, physical properties, and acceptable test methods used to verify the quality and performance of polypropylene twines. Additionally, it details the requirements for the commercial presentation of these twines, ensuring consistency and reliability across the industry. SIST EN 12423:1999 permits the addition of ultra violet (UV) high inhibitors to enhance product durability, though this is not mandatory. Notably, this standard does not cover agricultural twines made from polyolefins, as these are addressed by EN 906:1996.
Key Topics
- Material Specifications: Details concerning the composition and manufacturing processes for polypropylene twines to maintain uniformity and performance.
- Physical Characteristics: Specifies the essential physical properties such as strength, elongation, and diameter tolerances that polypropylene twines must meet.
- UV Inhibitors: Addresses the optional addition of high UV inhibitors for improving resistance to degradation from sunlight, enhancing outdoor durability.
- Test Methods: Sets forth standardized procedures to verify compliance with the specified characteristics, facilitating accurate product assessment.
- Commercial Presentation: Defines standards for packaging, labeling, and presentation to promote transparency and traceability in supply chains.
Applications
Polypropylene twines standardized under SIST EN 12423:1999 are widely used in a diverse range of commercial and industrial contexts, including:
- Packaging and Bundling: Securely wrapping, tying, and bundling goods for transportation and storage.
- Industrial Use: Supporting roles in manufacturing processes, logistics, and cargo management.
- General Purpose Binding: Everyday tying requirements in offices, retail, and domestic settings.
- Marine and Outdoor Applications: Suitable for uses demanding durability and weather resistance, especially when UV inhibitors are employed.
By adhering to SIST EN 12423:1999, manufacturers and suppliers can guarantee that their polypropylene twines are consistent in quality, safe for intended uses, and compatible with international markets. This ensures both compliance and customer satisfaction while simplifying import and export procedures within the European Union.
Related Standards
Understanding related standards is essential for ensuring the proper selection and use of polypropylene twines in specific applications. Key related standards include:
- EN 906:1996: Covers agricultural twines made from polyolefin materials, offering guidelines specifically for farming applications.
- ISO 1833: Focuses on fiber identification and composition analysis, which can be relevant for verifying raw material content in twines.
- EN ISO 2060: Specifies methods for determining yarn count, often applicable in quality control processes for twines and other textile products.
Compliance with SIST EN 12423:1999 and related standards ensures reliability, safety, and product performance for all stakeholders in the polypropylene twine supply chain. This standard is essential for manufacturers, distributors, and end-users seeking to meet European regulatory requirements and best industry practices.
