Materials and Manufacture6.1 Materials supplied in these forms shall be as uniform incomposition and size, and as free of contamination, as can beachieved by good manufacturing practice.6.2 These materials may contain colorants in the nominalamounts ordinarily
25、employed, but such additives shall not alterthe ability of the materials to meet the specified properties.6.3 The color of material supplied shall be comparable,within commercial match tolerances, to the color of standardsamples prepared by the manufacturer.7. Physical Requirements7.1 Test specimens
26、 of the material shall conform to therequirements prescribed in Table CAB.7.2 Molded specimens, for those tests requiring them, shallbe prepared in accordance with Section 10.7.3 Conformance to the requirements of this specificationshall be determined in accordance with Section 11, unlessotherwise s
27、pecified.8. Sampling8.1 Sampling shall be statistically adequate to satisfy therequirements of 12.4.8.2 A batch or lot shall be constituted as a unit of manufac-ture as prepared for shipment and may consist of a blend of twoor more “production runs.”9. Number of Tests9.1 Routine testing of each batc
28、h or lot shall be limited toproperties designated in Table CAB of this specification.9.2 One set of samples for those tests that are designated(Section 12) shall be considered sufficient for testing the batchor lot. The average results from those samples shall complywith the requirements prescribed
29、in this specification.9.3 If any failure occurs, the materials are not to be certifiedto this specification.10. Specimen Preparation10.1 Physical property requirements in Table CAB arebased on injection-molded specimens 3.2 mm thick. Specimensmachined from compression-molded blanks or extruded strip
30、smay be used, provided it can be shown that the results arecomparable.10.2 Prior to molding cellulose acetate butyrate, the mate-rial should be dried to a moisture content of 0.2 % or less. Theprimary reason for drying the material is to eliminate visualdefects such as surface imperfections and bubb
31、les. Materialspread in a tray to a maximum depth of 50 mm and exposed ina circulating-air oven at 75 to 90C for 3 h should besatisfactory. Formulations containing either very low or veryhigh levels of plasticizer may require slightly higher or lowerdrying temperatures respectively. Control the injec
32、tion mold-ing cycles in accordance with Practice D 3641, using a materialtemperature of 25 to 35C above the “cold point.” (The “coldD707052point” is the lowest material temperature at which it is possibleto obtain a full shot when all other operating variables are heldconstant within the normal oper
33、ating range.) Mold tempera-tures between 35 and 60C have been found desirable. As arule, thin-section moldings and higher hardness materials(lower plasticizer content) require higher mold temperatures.10.3 Test specimens injection molded from cellulosic ma-terials are subject to “overpacking” if the
34、 gate size is too large,and this can result in brittleness in the gate area as well asthroughout the entire specimen. To avoid this, the gate sizeshould be significantly smaller than those recommended inPractice D 3641. A gate size 1.5 mm square has been found toproduce satisfactory test specimens.1
