Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 gel or gelled vehicleany resin solution, or a morecomplex blend of resins and alkyds that has been cooked tobuild molecular weight or reacted with a gelling or crosslinkingagent (for example, organo-aluminum compounds) and exhib-i

8、ts a pseudoplastic rheology.3.1.2 pregel or pregel vehiclethe resin solution or vehiclecomponents comprising the vehicle prior to the addition ofgelling agent and viscosity adjusting solvent.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe terms “vehicle” and “varnish” arecommonly used interchangeably. Some vehicle and varnis

9、hchemists, however, may consider a varnish to be a vehicle thatundergoes a chemical reaction during a cooking cycle.3.1.3 gel seed, na non-homogeneous, gelatinous particlein a gel vehicle, often the result of poor mixing or localizedover-reaction during gelation.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Prepare a p

10、regel vehicle by dissolving all vehicle orvarnish components, or both, in a heated 1-L, resin kettle withinert gas blanket.4.2 Add gellant solution into the pregel vehicle. Mix usingthe suggested stirring rate at the prescribed reaction tempera-ture for 1 h.4.3 Remove the resin kettle from heat, eva

11、luate, adjust ifnecessary, and re-evaluate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides a means of preparing gel vehiclesin laboratory equipment that most closely resembles produc-tion reactors. It can be used to predict the performance of gelvehicle components (resins, gellants, alkyds, etc.)

18、aterials7.1 Nonvolatile materials will include resins, alkyds,gellants, etc., consistent with those used in the manufacture oflithographic ink vehicles (for example, aromatic hydrocarbonresins, modified rosin ester resins, long oil linseed isophthalicalkyds, and aluminum compounds).7.2 Solvents used

19、 in this procedure will be those most oftenused in the manufacture of lithographic ink vehicles, forexample, hydrocarbon petroleum distillate C12C16.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh oil, solvent, and alkyd components for a 500-gsample into resin kettle. Do not add resin and gellant compo-nents at this time.8.2

20、 Separately prepare a gellant solution to be added afterresin dissolution. Dilute gellant to between 30 and 50 % gellantwith the major vehicle solvent.8.3 Start mixer; be sure that all materials are mixing.8.4 Start heating the mixture to 160C, (or the definedreaction temperature) at full power, und

21、er inert gas blanket andrefluxing. Record time.8.5 Slowly add the resin component.8.6 At 150C, reduce to approximately34 power andcontinue heating to 160C.8.7 When the temperature reaches 160C, check that allsystems components have been dissolved into a homogeneoussolution. If yes, record the time a

22、nd the r/min of the stirrer (ifpossible). If not, allow system to mix until all components aredissolved.8.8 After a homogeneous vehicle is obtained, reduce thesolution temperature to 135C.8.9 Add the desired quantity of gellant solution to the pregelvehicle and mix thoroughly.8.10 Raise reaction tem

23、perature to 160C (or defined reac-tion temperature), stirring at 380 to 420 r/min (if able todetermine stirring speed), and record time.NOTE 1Different gellants have different activation temperatures, anddifferent resins have different reactivity.Adjust temperature accordingly tocomplete reaction wh

24、ile preventing gel seeding.8.10.1 Hold at 160C, or other reaction temperature, for 1 h,with constant stirring.8.11 After 1 h, or the prescribed reaction cycle, discontinueheating.8.12 Allow kettle to cool to a safe handling temperature.8.13 Collect test sample from the kettle and evaluate.8.14 Based

25、 on the results of the evaluation, make adjust-ments as necessary to the gel varnish before discharging (forexample, adding resin, adding gellant, adding solvent). Repeatsteps from above to achieve desired test results.8.15 Once gel vehicle passes test requirements, transfer intoa 1-qt can or other

26、container.9. Evaluation9.1 Sample should be tested immediately after preparation,and after 24 h, to determine the effects of post gelation.9.2 Guide D154 outlines many methods applicable to thetesting of varnishes. It is an excellent guide for those lookingfor specific areas of evaluation.9.3 Lightl

27、y gelled resin solutions and vehicles can be testedfor changes in viscosity by using either Test Methods D1545 orD1725. These test methods both use Gardner bubble tubes todetermine the viscosity of liquids.9.4 Another test method for testing gelled ink vehicles isTest Method D4040. This test method

28、utilizes a falling-rodviscometer and can be used to determine the non-Newtoniannature of vehicles. The test method gives poor precision,however. Other viscometers used for determining the rheologyof gelled vehicles include: variable shear rate viscometers, andcone and plate viscometers.FIG. 1 Gel Ve
