ISO 306 2013 - Vicat Tempwrature

This document from the International Organization for Standardization specifies four methods to determine the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials using different forces and heating rates. The VST gives the temperature at which thermoplastics start to rapidly soften. Therrawood Products reports that its Vicat temperature is greater than or equal to 75 degrees Celsius.

ISO 306:2013
Plastics -- Thermoplastic materials - Determination
of Vicat softening temperature (VST)

ISO 306:2013 specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening
temperature (VST)
of thermoplastic materials:
method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;
method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;
method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h;
method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h.

The methods specified are applicable only to thermoplastics, for which they give a measure
of the temperature at which the thermoplastics start to soften rapidly.

Therrawood Products:
Vicat Temperature is ≥ 75 ºC
