Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is for the determination of the weightperce

3、nt of individual volatile organic compounds in water-borne air-dry coatings (Note 1).1.2 This method may be used for the analysis of coatingscontaining silanes, siloxanes, and silane-siloxane blends.1.3 This method is not suitable for the analysis of coatingsthat cure by chemical reaction (this incl

4、udes two-componentcoatings and coatings which cure when heated) because thedilution herein required will impede the chemical reactionrequired for these types of coatings.1.4 Precision statistics for this method have been deter-mined for waterborne coatings in which the volatile organiccompound weigh

5、t percent is below 5 percent. The method hasbeen used successfully with higher organic content waterbornecoatings and with solventborne coatings (Note 2).1.5 This method may also be used to measure the exemptvolatile organic compound content (for example, acetone,methyl acetate, t-butyl acetate and

6、p-chlorobenzotrifluoride) ofwaterborne and solvent-borne coatings. Check local regula-tions for a list of exempt compounds. The methodology isvirtually identical to that used in Test Method D6133 which, aswritten, is specific for only exempt volatile compounds.1.6 Volatile compounds that are present

7、 at the 0.005 weightpercent level (50 ppm) or greater can be determined. Aprocedure for doing so is given in Section 9.1.7 Volatile organic compound content of a coating can becalculated using data from Test Method D6886 but requiresother data (see Appendix X2.)NOTE 1Data from this method will not a

Some or all

9、of these materials remain in the paint film and therefore are not consideredvolatile organic compounds according to EPA Method 24. In addition,some compounds may decompose at the high inlet temperature of the GC.However, note the EPAMethod 24 has poor precision and accuracy at lowlevels of volatile

Acetonemay also be used for solventborne coatings but should not be used forwaterborne coatings because it may react with ammonia and amines whichare frequently

29、 found in waterborne coatings. Other solvents can be used ifneeded but the choice of solvent should be reported.4.2 Direct GC/FID, GC/MS and solid phase microextraction(SPME) / gas chromatography of the coating may be used tofacilitate identification of the volatile compounds present in acoating (No

Table X1.1 lists the GC retention times forsome of the volatile compounds which may be found in lowvolatile organic compound content air-dry coatings and forseveral possible internal standards, ordinarily not present incoatings, which may be used (Note 4).NOTE 4The analyst should consult SDS

31、and product data sheets forinformation regarding solvents which are expected in a particular coating.Additional solvents, not shown on the SDS or PDS may also be present inthe coating. Retention times given in Appendix X1 must be verified foreach individual instrument.NOTE 5The accuracy of the volat

32、ile organic compound weightpercent determined using Test Method D6886 is dependent on the properidentification of the compounds detected in the chromatogram. Theresponse of the FID used in the GC is dependent on the compounddetected. The accuracy of the determination requires proper identification(b

33、y GC/MS, by retention time, or by analyzing the sample on a GCcolumn with a different stationary phase) and calibration of the GC for thecompounds detected.4.3 The methods for analysis are:4.3.1 Method AAnalysis is performed using GC/FID bypreparing and analyzing standards to determine responsefacto

34、rs and using these response factors for determination ofthe weight concentrations of analytes.4.3.2 Method BAnalysis is performed using GC/microreactor/FID (which converts all carbon-containing mol-ecules into methane prior to detection in an FID) by firstvalidating the system and subsequently quant

Significance and Use5.1 In using Practice D3960 to measure the volatile organiccompound content of waterborne coatings, precision can bepoor for low volatile organic com

37、pound content air-dry coat-ings if the volatile organic weight percent is determinedindirectly. The present method directly identifies and thenquantifies the weight percent of individual volatile organiccompounds in air-dry coatings (Note 6). The total volatileorganic weight percent can be obtained

38、by adding the indi-vidual weight percent values (Note 7).NOTE 6The present method may be used to speciate solvent-borneair-dry coatings. However, since these normally contain high, and oftencomplex, quantities of solvent, precision tends to be better using othermethods contained in Practice D3960, w

39、here the volatile fraction isdetermined by a direct weight loss determination.NOTE 7Detectable compounds may result from thermal decomposi-tion in a hot injection port or from reaction with the extraction solvent. Ifit can be shown that a material is a decomposition product, or is the resultof a rea

40、ction with the extraction solvent, then results for that compoundshould be discounted from the volatile measured by Test Method D6886.6.
