1、Designation: D 2048 92 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Test Method forPowdering of Floor Polish Films1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2048; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、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 test method covers a bench procedure for thedetermination of the degree of powdering of floor polishesunder ambient conditions
3、as well as conditions of low relativehumidity.1.2 This standard does not purport 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 regul
4、atory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 3153 Test Method for Recoatability of Water-EmulsionFloor Polishes23. Terminology3.1 Definition:3.1.1 powderingpartial or total disintegration of the pol-ish film resulting in a fine, light colored material.4. Significance an
5、d Use4.1 This is a comparative test method. If this method doesnot indicate powdering, it is still possible that the product inactual use may powder.5. Apparatus5.1 Textile Crockmeter,3weighted with a 1-kg weight. Theweight is placed directly over the abrasion dowel and attachedwith two-faced tape.5

Pr
10、eparation of Test Sample6.1 Clean the tile surface in accordance with Test MethodD 3153, paragraph 9.1.2, to ensure removal of any coatingpresent.6.2 Pipet 2 mL of polish onto the center of the test panel.Place the cheesecloth into the polish and allow it to absorb theemulsion. Distribute the emulsi
11、on evenly over the surface; thendraw the cheesecloth downward in smooth separate strokes,with no more pressure than is exerted by the weight of thehand, until the entire panel has been coated. If 304 by 304-mm(12 by 12-in.) tiles are used, pipet 3.6 mL of polish out thecenter of each tile.6.3 Apply
12、a second coat of polish 1 h after the first. Applythis coat in the same manner as the first coat.6.4 One hour after the second coat of polish has dried, placeone of the test tiles in the glove box in which the relativehumidity is 10 to 15 %. The low humidity is obtained andcontrolled using silica ge
13、l or calcium chloride as the desiccantor by using a saturated salt solution with a small fan to circulatethe air inside the box. Also place inside the glove box thecrockmeter weighted with a 1-kg weight and the green felt testpads. Age the tiles and equipment for 24 h at 10 to 15 %relative humidity

Procedure7.1 Test the prepared samples a
18、t 23.9 6 1.1C (75 6 2F)and 10 to 15 % relative humidity, and at 25 6 1.1C (77 62F) and 55 6 3 % relative humidity.7.2 Place the coated sample on the sandpaper pad. Cover thedowel with the abrading felt using the metal clip. Pass thecovered dowel over each polish film for 50 complete cycles.Use a fre
19、sh surface for each test. Remove the green felt fromthe test machine and observe for degree of powder adhering toit. Observe the test panel carefully for damage which may haveoccurred during the stroking action.8. Report8.1 The report shall include the following:8.1.1 Identification of sample,8.1.2
20、Temperature and humidity conditions of test, and8.1.3 Relative degree of white powder accumulation as seenon both the tile surface and the abrading felt. Report accordingto the following classifications: none, slight, or excessive.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Duplicate samples of polish, when tested by
21、thismethod, show the same degree of powdering.9.2 Since there is no accepted reference material suitable fordetermining the bias for the procedure for measuring thepowdering resistance of floor polish films, bias has not beendetermined.10.
