1、Designation: D 1992 91 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Guide forTesting Synthetic Plasticizers Used in Rubber1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1992; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re
2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers test methods for synthetic plasticizersthat are used in rubber applications.1.2 This standard does not pur
3、port to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

7、 onHeatingE 203 Test Method for Water Using Volumetric Karl FischerTitration3. Significance and Use3.1 Synthetic plasticizers are primarily esters and they areused with the more polar elastomers such as CR or NBR toimprove processing, adjust hardness, and improve low tem-perature properties. These e
8、sters may be either monomeric orpolymeric and are derived from many different organic acids.3.2 These test methods may be used in establishing andconfirming quality control standards for the synthetic plasticiz-ers used in rubber compounding. It is not implied that the testmethods in this guide are
9、the only ones of significance, butthese test methods list the properties most commonly specifiedfor ester plasticizers. Other parameters may be needed forspecific application of these materials.4. Sampling4.1 The method of sampling for either tank cars or drums isdescribed in Test Methods D 1045.5.
10、Volatility5.1 Volatility is normally measured as mass loss after 2 and24 h when tested at 155C. The procedure is described in TestMethod D 2288.6. Moisture6.1 The moisture content should be determined using theKarl Fischer reagent procedure as described in Test MethodE 203.7. Acid Number7.1 The acid
11、 number, expressed as milligrams of KOH pergram of plasticizer, may be determined from Test MethodsD 1045.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubber andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.20 on Compounding Materials andProcedures.Current edition approved Oct.

Saponification Number8.1 The saponification value is expressed in milligrams pergram of plasticizer and may be
14、determined by Test MethodD 1962.9. Color9.1 For clear light colored plasticizers, the APHA platinum-cobalt color standards may be used as described in Test MethodD 1209, but for darker or more oily plasticizers, the Gardnercolor standards are necessary. The Gardner procedure isdescribed in Test Meth
15、od D 1544.10. Specific Gravity10.1 The apparent specific gravity of plasticizers should bereported at 25/25C unless different conditions are mutuallyagreed upon. For low viscosity plasticizers the specific gravitymay be determined using a Westphal balance as described inTest Methods D 2111 or the hy
16、drometer procedure that isdescribed in Test Methods D 891. Plasticizers with mediumviscosity should be tested by the pycnometer procedure asdescribed in Test Methods D 891 and highly viscous plasticiz-ers should be tested by the procedure in Test Method D70.11. Viscosity11.1 The viscosity of plastic
17、izers is normally measured at25C by a Brookfield viscometer. The procedure for the test isgiven in Test Methods D 2196.12. Refractive Index12.1 The test for refractive index is completely described inTest Method D 1218 but can also be run by the proceduredescribed in Test Methods D 1045 except that
18、the test tempera-ture should be at 25C.13. Assay13.1 A titrimetric analysis method may be used which isgiven in Test Methods D 1045 but a more desirable method byeither gas chromatography analysis or infrared analysis will bedeveloped.14. Flammability14.1 The flash point of synthetic plasticizers sh
19、ould be runby the Cleveland Open Cup, Test Method D92.15.
