PLASTIC RECYCLING SYMBOLS
(OP)
Where may I find a complete list of recycling symbols to be added to plastic manufactured parts.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: PLASTIC RECYCLING SYMBOLS
This was a help I also have a need for the symbols such as ">POM<" that sum of my customers ask for on their products. I dont know the origin or name of this type of marking but have been asked to use them. I would like more info on this type so I might catch a mistake before I engrave the tool with the wrong markings, this has happend in the past to me.
RE: PLASTIC RECYCLING SYMBOLS
ISO 1629—Rubber and Latices—Nomenclature
ISO 1043-1—Plastics—Symbols—Part 1: Basic polymers and their special characteristics
ISO 1043-2—Plastics—Symbols—Part 2: Fillers and reinforcing materials
ISO 11469—Plastics—Generic identification and marking of plastic products
ISO 1629 supposedly contains the standard symbols for terms relating to rubber.
RE: PLASTIC RECYCLING SYMBOLS
The <POM> format does refer to ISO 1043-1: 1987, "Symbols for plastic and Rubber". (BS3502 in the UK)
Where the habit of using the greater than and less than signs came from I do not know, the standards don't call for them. I suspect it comes from the older DIN standard.
POM is Acetal. (Polyoxymethylene)
