20、l.5. Significance and Use5.1 Rubber in contact with light colored organic finishesmay stain the surfaces in contact with the rubber (contactstaining) and surfaces adjacent to or beyond the rubber(migration staining), especially under conditions of heat, pres-sure, or sunlight. When a light colored r
21、ubber veneer or organiccoating covers a staining rubber compound, the stainingingredients can diffuse through the veneer or coating and stainthe surface (diffusion staining). This staining of light coloredsurfaces is objectionable to the consumer.5.2 These test methods provide a means of evaluatings
22、taining characteristics of rubber compounds but may notnecessarily duplicate the effects of natural exposure conditions.5.3 Results obtained should not be treated as being equiva-lent to any natural exposure, unless the degree of quantitativecorrelation has been empirically established for the mater
23、ial inquestion.5.4 These test methods may be used for producer-consumeracceptance, referee purposes, and research and developmentwork.5.5 The two types of exposures (Fluorescent UV and XenonArc) are not equivalent and may produce different test results.METHOD ACONTACT STAIN6.

24、g-Air OvenThe oven shall meet the require-ments of Specification E 145, Type 11 B.7. Materials and Manufacture7.1 Metal panels 50 mm (2 in.) square shall be cut fromsheet metal of approximately 0.9 mm (20 gauge) in thicknessthat has been coated with a desired organic finish. When thesetest methods a
25、re used to determine compliance with specifica-tions, the panels may be supplied by the purchaser and the typeof finish used may be the subject of agreement between thepurchaser and the seller. The panels shall be aged for at least48 h after finishing and before use in this test.NOTE 1It is recommen
26、ded that acrylic enamel be employed as anorganic coating for the metal panels (Delstar Acrylic EnamelDAR 2185white, in conjunction with Satin Primer DPE-1338, light gray-nonsanding).38. Test Specimen8.1 The test specimen shall be prepared from a vulcanizedproduction part or from a test sheet in acco
27、rdance withPractices D 3182 and D 3183. The specimen shall be rectan-gular in shape, 25 by 12 mm (1 by 0.5 in.) and of uniformthickness. If a specimen of this size cannot be prepared from aproduction part, a modification of this size may be used, whenagreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.
28、 The speci-men shall be tested as received, but extraneous contaminationand debris may be removed, without abrading the surface, bywashing with a mild soap solution or by mechanical means.9. Procedure9.1 Place two rubber specimens from the same materialbetween two metal plates, as shown in Fig. 1, w
29、ith the finishedsurfaces of the panels in contact with the rubber.9.1.1 Place the metal panel-rubber “sandwich” thus formedin the oven maintained at a temperature of 70 6 2C (158 64F). Place a 0.5 kg (1 lb) mass on top of the sandwich (or anadjusted mass, if nonstandard specimens are being tested).9
30、.1.2 Expose the assembly to the oven temperature for aspecified time; time intervals frequently used are 6, 24, 48, and96 h. In lieu of a specified time, 48 h shall be used as thedefault time interval. Take care that no other volatile or vaporproducing materials that might produce staining are in th
31、e testchamber.9.1.3 After the aging period, remove the assembly from theoven and separate the specimens cleanly from the sandwich.Then wash the panels with mild soap solution.9.2 Simultaneously test a metal control panel without arubber specimen to check the effect of the test conditions on thefinis
32、h itself. Expose no control panel more than once.9.3 One or more reference assemblies using rubber materi-als of known staining characteristics shall be included in thetest.3The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this timeis PPG Industries, Inc., Ditzler Automotive Fini

Judge the degree of thiscontact stain to be greater or less than that of the referencestandard, or a numerical rating based on an arbitrary
35、scale asagreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. Observe andrecord any staining beyond the immediate area of contact.METHOD BMIGRATION STAIN10.

Materials and Manufacture11.1 Use metal panels as described in Section 7, except thatthe size shall be 75 by 100 mm (3 by 4 in.) for the standardspecimen and shall be no larger than 300 by 3
38、00 mm (12 by 12in.) for nonstandard specimens. Panels of this size are normallyused in purchaser-seller compliance testing.12. Test Specimens12.1 Prepare the test specimens in accordance with Section8.13. Procedures13.1 The two procedures (Fluorescent UV and Xenon Arc)use different types of exposure
39、 sources and test conditionswhich may produce different test results. They shall not be usedinterchangeably without supporting data that demonstratesequivalency of the procedures for the materials tested.13.2 For the allowed operational fluctuations of the speci-fied set points for irradiance, tempe

If the actualoperating conditions do not comply with the maximum allow-able fluctuations in Table A3.1 after the equipment has stabi-lized, discontinue the test and correct the cause of the problembefore continuing.13.3 Specimens
41、should be confined to an exposure area inwhich the irradiance is at least 90 % of the irradiance at thecenter of the exposure area. Unless it is known that irradianceuniformity meets this requirement, use one of the proceduresdescribed in Practice G 151, Section 5.1.4 to ensure equalradiant exposure
42、 on all specimens or to compensate fordifferences within the exposure chamber. If the specimens donot completely fill the racks, fill the empty spaces with blankmetal panels to maintain the test conditions within the cham-ber.13.4 The apparatus shall be operated continuously. How-ever, if the test n

Judge the degree ofthis stain to be greater or less than that of a standard or give anumerical rating based on
47、 an arbitrary scale of degree of stain,which may be agreed upon between the purchaser and theseller.13.6 Procedure for Exposure in Xenon Arc Apparatus(Practice G 155)Unless otherwise specified, use the follow-ing operating conditions:13.6.1 The xenon arc test apparatus shall be used with aDaylight F
