1、Designation: C 1378 04Standard Test Method forDetermination of Resistance to Staining1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1378; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number i

2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is intended to determine the resistanceto staining of ceramic tile surfaces.1.2 The resistance to staining is determined by m

3、aintainingtest solutions in contact with ceramic tile surfaces for aspecified period of time. After exposure, the surface is cleanedin a defined manner, and the test specimens are inspectedvisually for change.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated

4、 with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、 agent, a commercial agent, not con-taining abrasive, with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5.3.7.3 Strong cleaning agent, a commercial cleaning agentcontaining abrasive, with a pH of 9 to 10.3.7.4 Suitable solvents:3 % (v/v) HCI solution, prepared from 38 % hydrochloricacid by adding 79 mL of the reagent hydrochlo

10、ride acidsolution to 951 mL of distilled water.20 % KOH solution (200 g/L), prepared by dissolving 200g of 90 % potassium hydroxide into 1 L of distilled water.Acetone (technical grade).4. Samples4.1 Number of Test SpecimensOne defect-free test speci-men, which is representative of the entire surfac

11、e, for each testsolution is to be used. Test specimens shall be representative ofthe sample, and where tiles have different colors of decorativeeffects, care should be taken to include all distinctive parts.More test specimens may be necessary to incorperate allsurface features.4.2 Size of Specimens

12、The original tile for testing shouldbe cut to 50- by 50-mm squares for testing with each cut piecelabeled according to the testing solution to be applied.4.3 The sample surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned witha suitable solvent, such as acetone and completely dried beforetesting.1This test method

If thetiles are glazed, then the staining agent should be applied to theglazed surface.5. Procedure for Staining Agent Applicati

16、on5.1 Application of the Staining Agent:5.1.1 Dry the test specimens thoroughly at 110 6 5Cbefore testing and then cool the tile to room temperature.5.1.2 The labeled test specimens are laid out on a table in awell-ventilated area.NOTE 1Precaution: This test method involves the use of chemicalsubsta

17、nces. Proper precautions for the handling of these chemicals shouldbe taken, such as protective clothing and fume hoods.5.1.3 Transfer 5mL of the liquid staining agent described in2.3-2.6 to a test tube.5.1.4 Place the surface to be tested of the tile face down onthe open end of the test tube.5.1.5

18、While firmly holding the test tube and tile assemblytogether, invert the assembly so that the back of the tile isfacing the table and the closed end of the test tube is facing up.5.1.6 Carefully place the assembly on the table and leaveundisturbed for 24 h.5.1.7 For the dry staining agents described

19、 in 2.1 and 2.2,apply a generous amount of the staining agent with a cloth inthe center of the test specimen, being sure to leave someunexposed area for comparison. The grout described in 2.1should be mixed with enough distilled water to make a neatpaste before application. For light-colored tile, b

20、lack groutshould be used, and for dark tile, white grout should be used.5.2 Removal of the Test Solutions:5.2.1 After 24 h of contact between the test specimens andthe liquid staining agents has expired, again invert the assem-bly so that the test solution is contained in the test tube, andremove th

21、e test tube from the specimen and dispose of thestaining agent properly.5.2.2 For the solid staining agents, proceed directly to thecleaning procedures.5.3 Cleaning ProceduresThe following cleaning proce-dures (A, B, C, and D) will be tried in succession until one ofthe procedures is successful at r

22、emoving the stain. If the firstprocedure is successful, it is not necessary to try the remainingthree procedures. After each cleaning procedure, the samplesare dried thoroughly at 110 6 5C and cooled to roomtemperature.5.3.1 Procedure AFlow of running hot water for 5 min;the surface then is wiped wi

23、th a damp cloth.5.3.2 Procedure BHand cleaning with the weak cleaningagent (3.7.2); a natural, unabrading sponge or a cloth can beused. The surface then is rinsed with running water and finallywiped with a damp cloth.5.3.3 Procedure CMechanical cleaning such as a rotatingbrush with hard bristles hav

24、ing a 8-cm diameter and automaticcleaning agent feed using the strong cleaning agent (3.7.3). Thecleaning action is applied for approximately 2 min, then thesurface is rinsed with running water and finally wiped with adamp cloth.5.3.4 Procedure DImmersion, for 24 h, of the test speci-mens in the sui

25、table solvent listed in 3.7.4 that is capable ofremoving the stain.5.4 Dry the specimens thoroughly at 110 6 5C and cool toroom temperature before evaluation.6. Evaluation of Results6.1 Visual EvaluationExamine the surface at a standarddistance of 25 cm and a standard illumination of approximately30

26、0 lux. Rotate the sample to examine it from multiple angles.Examine for differences in appearance between the treated anduntreated area. If the sample is stained visibly by the stainingagent, then the results of that testing solution will be recordedas “affected.”7. Report7.1 Make out a report with

27、each of the staining agents used(see Fig. 1);7.2 Identify the tile being tested by type, size, and statewhether glazed or unglazed;7.3 State the test conditions, that is, type of staining agentsused, temperatures maintained during the test, and length ofexposure; and7.4 Report the results of the vis

28、ual inspection for each tileby the simple statements “affected” or “not affected.”8.
