Summary of Te

8、st Method4.1 Approximately 0.2 g of coating formulation is placed inan aluminum foil pan, dried in a vacuum oven at 40C (toremove free formaldehyde and solvents) and then baked at theoptimum process cure temperature for 30 min. Formaldehydeemissions are collected from the cure chamber on a DNPH/Sili

9、ca tube, which is then extracted and the extract analyzed byHPLC/UV. The amount of formaldehyde evolved from thecoating during the cure step is calculated on both a wet-weightand dry-weight basis. The test is run in triplicate plus a blankand system standard.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test meth

10、od measures the amount of formaldehydethat is evolved from a coating containing melamine-formaldehyde resin(s) during cure at elevated temperature.Cure formaldehyde results from a side-reaction during cross-linking of functionalized polymers with melamine-formaldehyde resins. Cure formaldehyde is ev

11、olved in the finalbake or cure oven, when the coating temperature is highenough to initiate cross-linking. Formaldehyde can be releasedfrom a coating during application, solvent flash-off and cure.Free formaldehyde is primarily evolved during coating appli-cation and solvent flash-off. Test Method D

12、1979 measures“free formaldehyde” in amino resins and Test Method D6191measures formaldehyde evolved from coatings at ambienttemperature.
