Thermoplastic elastomers - Nomenclature and abbreviated terms
This document establishes a nomenclature system for thermoplastic elastomers based on the chemical composition of the polymer or polymers involved. It specifies symbols and abbreviated terms used to identify thermoplastic elastomers in industry, commerce, and government. It is not intended to conflict with, but to supplement, existing trade names and trademarks. NOTE 1 The name of the thermoplastic elastomer is intended to be used in technical papers and presentations followed by the abbreviated term used to designate the elastomer in this document. NOTE 2 Annex A gives thermoplastic-elastomer abbreviated terms that have been used in the past in materials standards, technical bulletins, textbooks, patents, and trade literature.

About This Item
TS EN ISO 18064 defines a nomenclature system and abbreviated terms for thermoplastic elastomers based on the chemical composition of the polymer or polymers involved. In practical terms, it provides a controlled way to name these materials consistently across technical writing, commercial descriptions, and public-sector documentation. Thermoplastic elastomers are a broad polymer class that combines rubber-like elasticity with thermoplastic processability.
Why composition-based naming matters
The standard focuses on a structured designation derived from the polymer chemistry rather than from trade names or trademarks. That distinction is important because the same general material family may be marketed under different proprietary names, while users in engineering, procurement, and regulation need a common technical language. The document is intended to supplement, not conflict with, existing trade names and trademarks.
Where the abbreviations are used
- Technical papers and presentations, where the full elastomer name is followed by the abbreviated term defined by this standard
- Industry, commerce, and government, where a common identification system helps avoid ambiguity
- Historical and reference contexts, including earlier material standards, technical bulletins, textbooks, patents, and trade literature
