6、 Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 open time, nthe time available between applicationof the adhesive to the first substrate and the mating of thesecond substrate which still results in a minimum of 50 % fibertear when tested at ambient conditions.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In this test method,
7、 open time is determined by bondingtogether with the adhesive, pieces of standard paper at intervalsof 5 s sequentially after the molten adhesive has been appliedusing a heated film applicator on one surface. The bondedspecimens are examined later to determine the longest timeperiod, between applica
8、tion of the adhesive to one surface andmating with a second surface, which allows substantial bond-ing.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method allows comparing the open time ofseveral hot melt adhesives.5.2 This test method is not intended to provide the open-time observed for a specific adhesiv
9、e in a specific manufactur-ing operation. This test method can be used to compare theperformance of adhesives which are represented to be identicalor to rank the open-time of a group of hot melt adhesives.6.

Procedure8.1 Add 300 6 10 g of the adhesive to the 600-mL glassbeaker and cover with a watch glass. Place the beakercontaining the adhesive into the
18、 oven and heat until at theapplication temperature recommended by the manufacturer.8.2 Concurrently heat the film applicator in the same ovento condition it to the sample temperature as in 8.1.8.3 Perform testing in a relatively draft-free room. While thesample is melting, prepare the substrates for
19、 testing as shownin Figs. 1 and 2.8.3.1 Tape the long sides of a piece of primary standardsubstrate (see 6.4), minimum sheet size 100 by 280 mm (4 by11 in.), to a flat smooth surface of low thermal conductivity,specifically to a larger piece of chipboard (such as from theback of a tablet). Then tape
20、 the chipboard to an underlyingsurface.8.3.2 Place the strips of the secondary standard substrate(see 6.5) across the width of the primary substrate, as shown inFig. 1, leaving approximately 6 mm (14 in.) between the strips.The top strip should be approximately 75 mm (3 in.) below thetop edge of the
21、 primary substrate. Using pressure sensitivetape, attach one end of the strips to the primary substrate. Foldthe unattached end of each strip back over the attached end sothat the primary substrate is exposed for application of theadhesive (see Fig. 2).8.4 Remove the sample from the oven, and by sti
22、rring withthe metal thermometer, quickly verify that the temperature iswithin 63C (65F) of the manufacturers recommendedapplication temperature.8.5 Quickly remove the adhesive applicator from the oven,and center it above the top strip of the secondary substrate. The0.5 mm (20 mil) gap should face do
23、wn and be near the top endof the primary substrate.8.6 Fill the applicator reservoir to approximately a14-in.level with conditioned hot adhesive.8.7 Move the applicator and the contained molten adhesivewith one smooth motion over the length of the paper takingapproximately2stocomplete the drawdown.N
24、OTE 1Approximately2sissatisfactory. The purpose is to standard-ize on a reasonable rate and eliminate an excessively fast or slowdrawdown which will affect the results.NOTE 2Trial applications should be made to determine the properapplicator gap to lay down a specified film thickness. Normally, a ga
25、p of0.50 mm (20 mil) will lay down a film of 0.25 mm (10 mil). Variations inapplied film thickness will occur because of differences in the hot flowproperties of the adhesive.8.8 Immediately after the film has been drawn down, startthe timer.8.9 At5sonthetimer, or a longer time if it is known thatan
26、 adhesive will have an open time longer than about 30 s, laythe top piece of secondary substrate across the cooling film,and continue sequentially at 5 s intervals. Use the weightedblock to apply immediately a momentary load of 5 s durationto press the strips onto the adhesive, moving the block tosu
27、ccessive strips as they are laid onto the adhesive. See Fig. 3.The wood face of the block faces the substrate. Repeat thisoperation until it is obvious the adhesive film has solidified andwill not bond to the secondary substrate.8.10 Allow the adhesive film to cool at ambient temperaturefor 30 to 60
28、 min before measuring.8.11 Measure the combined thickness of the adhesive filmand the two substrates. Subtract the thickness of the twosubstrates to determine the nominal adhesive thickness to thenearest 0.025 mm (1 mil).8.12 With a uniform motion, peel off each strip of secondarysubstrate at an ang
29、le of 90 to the surface. Take about 10 s topeel off each strip. If the paper tears near the initial edge, repeatthe peel from the opposite end of the strip. Record the percentarea of fiber tear for each strip and the time in seconds at whichthat strip was laid onto the cooling adhesive.FIG. 1 Second
