Summary of Test Method3.1 A carbon black sample is mixed with a whi

7、te powder (zinc oxide) and a liquid vehicle (epoxidized soybean oil, ESO) toproduce a black or gray paste. This paste is then spread to produce a surface suitable for measuring the reflectance of the mixtureby means of a photo-electric reflectance meter. The reflectance of the tested sample is then

8、compared to the reflectance of the ITRBprepared in the same manner. The tint strength of the tested sample is expressed as units of the reflectance of the ITRB dividedby the reflectance of the sample and multiplied by 100.3.2 Correction Factor:3.2.1 When ITRB-2, Paraplex G-62 (made before June 2012)

9、 and ZnO lot#8 are used, apply a correction factor of 1.0134 forthe calibration and standardization in Section 8.3.2.2 There should be no correction applied when ITRB is used with Paraplex G-62 and ZnO Lot#8 or earlier, that is, thecorrection factor is “1”.1 This test method is under the jurisdictio

14、ed in the calculation in Section 10 when using the currently available tint raw materials(see Section 6) for pastes prepared with either ITRB or ITRB2, that is, the correction factor is “1”.34. Significance and Use4.1 For the broad range of commercial rubber grade carbon blacks, tint strength is hig

15、hly dependent upon particle size. Tintstrength can be used as an indication of particle size; however, tint strength is also dependent on structure and aggregate sizedistribution. Therefore, differences in tint strength within grades of carbon black may reflect differences other than particle size.N

16、OTE 1This test method was developed primarily for the characterization of N100, N200, and N300 series carbon blacks.4.2 Tint strength values within the carbon black industry have been developed using aAutomatic Muller apparatus which is usedto prepare carbon black-zinc oxide pastes.Anew mixing appar

17、atus, SpeedMixer4 (DAC 150 FVZ), and a corresponding procedurehave been extensively studied within D24 and shown to provide equivalent tint strength for all carcass or soft blacks and most treadblacks with the exception of higher surface area N100 types and specialty blacks. Therefore, it is the res

18、ponsibility of the user ofthis alternate apparatus to ensure their products will adequately disperse. Disputes arising between a user and producer should beresolved using the Automatic Muller apparatus until ASTM develops adequate precision statements.4.3 The term ITRB is used in the entire text for

19、 both, the original ITRB, used as the first reference material for tint testing, butwhich is now used up, and the successor reference material, ITRB2. Wherever required, like in calculations where it is crucial todifferentiate between the original ITRB and ITRB2, this will be clearly mentioned in th

20、e text of the test procedure.5.

24、12 and ZnO Lot#10.AnASTM task group investigated the issues and found the followingraw materials acceptable for Tint testing:1) ESO: Paraplex G-62 purchased before June 2012 or currently available GreenChem Greenflex 7170, lot 590911X24, and2) zinc oxide Lot#8 or earlier, and currently available ZnO

25、 lot#11.It is highly recommended to only use these raw materials identified as acceptable as other sources may lead to unacceptable differences in the test results. The tint taskgroup has determined that Paraplex G-62 with lot numbers that begin with the digit 5 and zinc oxide lots 9 and 10 are susp

26、ect and may not give acceptable results.When using the new raw materials for tint testing some differences may be observed with various grades of carbon black compared with historical data. For this reasonit is the responsibility of the manufacturer to identify any such differences, and if necessary

27、, revise any specifications between producer and user.4 SpeedMixer is a registered trademark of FlackTek Inc., 1708 Highway 11, Bldg.
