    AMENDMENT NO. 2 AUGUST 2022


    TO
    IS 7328 : 2020 SPECIFICATION FOR POLYETHYLENE MATERIAL FOR
    MOULDING AND EXTRUSION
    ( Second Revision )

    (Foreword, Para 10) — Insert the following after para 10:

    ‘Polyethylene manufacturing is a continuous process of polymerization and capable to produce numerous types
    of grades based upon melt flow index and density which are used by final converters for manufacturing extruded
    and moulded products (flexible films, raffia tapes, mono filaments, pipes, blow, injection, roto moulded
    products and various other products).

    Since polymerization is a continuous process, during transition from one grade to another, there will be virgin
    polymer grades produced with broad melt flow index and density range with respect to declared specifications
    by respective resin manufacturers and will be classified as blending resins or grades. These grades are used as
    blends with other polymer grades by the converters in various applications without affecting performance in the
    intended end-use application.’

    (Page 1, clause 3.1) — Substitute the following for the existing:

    ‘3.1 Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) — Polyethylene, manufactured by high pressure processes, which is
    highly branched (short and long chains) and has a density of 910 kg/m3 to 930 kg/m3 at 23°C (908 kg/m3 to
    928 kg/m3 at 27°C).’

    (Page 1, clause 3.2) — Substitute the following for the existing:

    ‘3.2 Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) — Polyethylene, manufactured by low pressure processes,
    contain significant amounts of short chain branching and small amounts of long chain branching (when
    compared to low density polyethylene) and normally has a density of 910 kg/m3 to 940 kg/m3 at 23°C (908 kg/
    m3 to 938 kg/m3 at 27°C).’

    (Page 1, clause 3.3) — Substitute the following for the existing:

    ‘3.3 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) — Polyethylene, manufactured by low pressure processes, containing
    very few short chain branching having a density greater than 940 kg/m3 at 23°C (greater than 938 Kg/m3 at 27°
    C).’

    (Page 1, clause 3.4) — Delete.

    (Page 1, clause 3.5) — Delete.

    Amendment No. 2 to IS 7328 : 2020

    (Page 2, clause 4.2.3, code Z) — Substitute the last row for code Z as follows:

    Code Applications

    Z Blending/Miscellaneous

    (Page 5, clause 4.3, Typical Example of Designatory Code) — Substitute ‘Designation Code: IS
    7328-2B-FBH-BXDA-C05’ for ‘Designation Code: IS 7328-2B-FBH-BDE-C05’.

    (Page 5, clause 5.2.1.1, Para 1) — Substitute the following for the existing para 1:

    ‘Density of the material shall be designated as per table 1, based on the value as agreed between purchaser and
    supplier. It shall be determined according to IS 13360 (Part 3/Sec 10)/IS 13360 (Part 3/Sec 11)/ASTM D1505/
    ASTM D792/ASTM D4703. Sample shall be prepared according to IS 13360 (Part 2/Sec 1)/3.4.2 of ISO
    17855-1/5.1.3 of IS 2530.’

    (Page 6, clause 5.2.1.1, Para 4) — Insert the following after para 4:

    ‘In case of resin or grade used for blending application, designation code of density in data block 4 shall be
    based on the actual tested value for density of particular batch/lot and ‘intended application or method of
    processing’ will be codified as ‘Z’ (clause 4.2.3). The value of density may vary up to ± 8 Kg/m3 from the
    measured/reported value.’

    (Page 6, clause 5.2.1.2, Para 1) — Substitute the following for the existing para 1:

    ‘The melt flow rate/melt flow index of the material shall be designated as per Table 3, based on the value as
    agreed between purchaser and supplier. It shall be determined by the method prescribed in IS 13360 (Part 4/Sec
    l)/ASTM D 1238. The value of melt flow rate shall be within ± 20 percent of the specified nominal melt flow
    rate, if this is 1 or above and shall be within ± 30 percent of the specified nominal melt flow rate, if this is less
    than 1.’

    (Page 6, clause 5.2.1.2, Para 2) — Insert the following after para 2:

    ‘In case of resin or grade used for blending application, designation code of melt flow index in data block 4 shall
    be based on the actual tested value for melt flow index of batch/lot ‘intended application or method of
    processing’ will be codified as ‘Z’ (clause 4.2.3). The value of melt flow rate may vary up to ± 40 percent from
    the measured/reported value.’

    (Page 6, clause 5.3) — Substitute the following for the existing clause:

    ‘5.3 Additional Requirements for Compounded Materials

    5.3.1 Additional properties to be selected as per 5.3.2 for compounded material shall be determined by
    the characteristics required for processing and product property requirements.

    processes, the requirements mentioned in 5.5.2 shall be tested.’

    (Page 8, clause 6) — Substitute the following for the existing clause: ‘6 TESTS
