    This document provides guidelines for creating Material Data Sheets (MDS) describing rubber and latex materials for reporting compositions to automobile manufacturers. It outlines describing the chemical composition, base substances, additives, and any residues. Guidelines are given for simple rubber products with one base material and additives, and complex products with multiple material layers like a fuel hose. Basic rubbers are listed according to ISO 1629 standards and examples shown of how to document compositions in the IMDS system.

    International Material Data System

    IMDS Recommendation IMDS 003

    Rubber (Elastomer) Material Compositions

    1 Purpose
    This recommendation outlines the general requirements for the creation of Material Data Sheets (MDS)
    describing rubber and lattices materials. It shall be used to report comprehensive rubber product
    compositions thus enabling the automobile manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with legal and
    proprietary requirements. The MDS should describe the chemical composition of the product, i.e. in its
    cured state. A rubber material product description should include the base substances, the contained
    additives, as they remain in the product and possibly contained substance residues (uncured reactants,
    by-products, monomer volatile or migrating substance e.g. nitrosamines) that are displayed in the cured
    compound material structure.

    For general Recommendation setup requirements see IMDS 001. Plastics are described in
    recommendation IMDS 010, Thermoplastic Elastomers (Thermoplastic Rubbers) in recommendation
    IMDS 013.

    2 References
    Recommendation IMDS 001, IMDS 010, IMDS 012, ISO 1629, ISO 1043 1-4, ISO 2076, GADSL

    3 Definitions
    3.1 Simple composed rubber product
    A rubber material product for automobile usage is a preparation of a base rubber material and functional
    chemicals (additives). The overall composition is dependent on the service purpose and the fabrication
    process; it can vary with respect to the base material and to the additives. The IMDS Material Datasheet
    is requiring information on the new product’s composition, i.e. in its delivery state.

    A rubber material consists of its basic material type (e.g. NBR Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), which can
    generically be described as a pseudo substance. The basic rubber materials are listed in IMDS as
    described in ISO 1629 (see chapter 4). The rubber “substance” is shown at the substance level, under the
    material level . The contained additives are shown under the same material level.

    Typical ranges (Min.(X) – Max. (Y)) for the amount (percentage) of a basic substance may be used. Such
    ranges are NOT specifications. Ranges must not be used as a means to avoid declaring the full
    composition. Guidelines for acceptable ranges are listed below These ranges are valid for all basic
    substances of the elastomers (basic rubber and the additives).

    IMDS Recommendation IMDS 003

    Portion of basic substance in the material: from X% to Y% Maximum range M = Y% - X%


    0 ≤ X ≤ 7.5 M≤3
    7.5 < X ≤ 20 M≤5
    20 < X ≤ 100 M ≤ 10

    Generic terms may be used for highly confidential additives as described in IMDS 001. The unspecific
    substances must not exceed the limit of 10%.

    3.2 Complex composed rubber product


    For complex composed products, containing different rubber or plastic materials (e.g. a fuel hose with
    inner layer, intermediate layer, outer layer and a fiber reinforcement between the layers) it is desirable to
    add each contained material beneath the material which describes the composite product. The different
    components of the product can be described as materials (see chapter 4).

    Complex composed rubber component (described as semi component)


    Plastic of the inner layer (cf. Recommendation IMDS 010 on Plastic Material Compositions)
    Rubber of the intermediate layer
    Fiber reinforcement (cf. Recommendation IMDS 004 on Textiles)
    Rubber of the outer layer
    3.3 Basic Rubber
    The rubber and lattices of ISO 1629 are listed in IMDS. You can find them in the substance list by
    searching for “basic rubbers” under synonyms. As result you get the complete listing of the basic rubbers
    (see chapter 4).
