26、opper or pipette, deposit68 drops of test reagent or a sufficient amount to thoroughly wet the filter paper.8.7 If the test reagent is a paste, apply a thin layer (approximately 116 in.

For paste reagents, lightly scrapesurface with the spatula to remove reagent and wipe area with dry faci

28、al tissue. Particular care must be taken during scraping andblotting so as not to disturb the exposed surface more than necessary.8.10 If residual reagent remains on the surface, lightly clean the exposed area with water or mild solvent, such as isopropanolor odorless mineral spirits, then blot dry

29、with facial tissue.NOTE 1Some solvents are flammable and can soften the surface layer, or both. If a question arises as to which are suitable, direct them to themanufacturer.8.11 When thickness, indentation, and colorimetric data are to be measured readings, they should be taken within 15 min afterr

30、emoving test reagents and recorded as indicated in Fig. 1.9. Interpretation of Results9.1 Within 5 min after removing test reagents, visually examine the exposed test area as compared to the adjacent, untested areaof similar color and texture.9.2 Subjective category ratings will all utilize the same

31、 scale of 03 with 0 = no change; 1 = slight change; 2 = moderate change;and 3 = severe change. The following categories should be rated:9.2.1 Surface DullingIndicating that the specimen suffered from a loss of gloss,9.2.2 Color ChangeIndicating that the specimen suffered discoloration or bleaching,

32、or both, and9.2.3 Surface AttackIndicating that the specimen suffered surface damage such as softening, warping, swelling, blistering,peeling, raised or rough area.9.3 If more than a slight change is noted, reevaluate sample in 24 h. If the sample is still rated as more than a slight change,apply tw

33、o coats of high quality crosslinked acrylic polish per manufacturers recommendations and rate again 1 h after applyingfinal coat of polish. The 24 h rating is optional but can be useful in determining if the affected area shows a temporary or permanentchange as a result of the reagent exposure.9.4 T

34、his test method recognizes that there are methods to potentially help quantify chemical attack on tile and noncushionedproducts. One can consider using change in thickness to measure product swell or indentation to indicate softening, in additionto the visual rating system. However, these methods an

35、d results can be misleading where there is only small change due to reagentexposure and there is danger that repeated results could well be within the reporting error of the test method.9.5 For this reason we include the methodology for reporting results, but advise attempting to quantify only when

36、changes areconsidered to be more than a slight change.9.6 Thickness ChangeReport percentage change from initial thickness (positive for swell, negative for shrinkage).
