1、Designation: D 3440 01 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Guide forPreparing Specifications for Water-Emulsion Floor Polishes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3440; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye
2、ar of last revision. 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 preparing specifications for water-emulsion floor polishes on all nonwood floors and for seal
3、edwood floors.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 regulatory limitations prior to use.2

Sampling7.1 For Inspection LotsSample all production batches.Take a minimum of one sample. Protect samples from anypossibility of freez
19、ing. The sample shall consist of at least 1 gal(3.8 L) of floor polish taken in accordance with 7.2.7.2 Method of SamplingSelect samples at random. Takethe number of samples agreed upon between the purchaser andthe seller. Cans or containers should be coded or identified tocorrespond to production b
20、atch codes.7.3 Identification and DispositionAll subdivisions of thesample taken in accordance with 7.1 and 7.2 shall be properlyidentified, including any code or batch numbers, and numberedconsecutively. Samples shall be distributed as directed by thepurchaser or his authorized representative.Any r
21、emaining shallbe retained at the sampling site pending further or finalinstructions.8. Test Methods8.1 Infrared Spectroscopy:8.1.1 Test SpecimenCuta212-in. (64-mm) square ofaluminum foil of 3-mil (0.08-mm) thickness (minimum) hav-ing one side mirror bright. Wash the square with absolutealcohol, and
22、air dry. The mirror bright side should give aspectra that differs less than 2 % transmittance from thestandard front surface test mirror used in the specular reflec-tance accessory (individual spectrophotometers have differentaccessories).Apply approximately 1 mL of floor polish with aneye dropper i
23、n a zig-zag pattern, and produce a uniform layerby means of a 2-in. (51-mm) doctor blade with 0.008-in.(0.20-mm) gap. The sample thus prepared is allowed to dryovernight before use.8.1.2 ProcedureRun the spectrum of the coated foil on aninfrared spectrophotometer equipped with a specular reflec-tanc
24、e accessory. The base line of the spectrum should showapproximately 90 % transmittance, and the most intense bandshould show approximately 10 %. It may be necessary to movethe coated aluminum foil slightly to approach these conditionsas nearly as possible.8.2 ColorMethod D 3210.8.3 Gas Chromatograph
25、y:8.3.1 ApparatusPack a 6-ft by18-in. (1.83-mm by 3.2-mm) stainless steel column with 5 weight % OV-17 phenylm-ethyl silicone on Chromosorb W804100 mesh, acid washedand silanized. Condition the column overnight in helium at340C in the gas chromatograph.8.3.2 ProcedureProgram the oven temperature fro
26、m 100to 325C at 6C/min, with a 2-min post injection hold at 100Cand an upper temperature hold at 325C for 30 min. Set theinjection port and detectors (Note 1) at 325C and gas flows asfollows: helium 75 mL/min and 50 psi (345 kPa), hydrogen 35mL/min and 30 psi (205 kPa) and air, 280 mL/min and 30 psi
27、.The sample size should be 3 L of floor polish. Condition thechromatograph with one prerun of the sample. Discard theresults of this prerun. The evaluation of results may beperformed manually or with any integrator.NOTE 1It is desirable to use a flame detector set at a suitableattenuation range sinc
28、e the organic content of floor polish is low and thereis an upper limit to the amount of water that can be put on a column.NOTE 2This test method was derived from Federal SpecificationsP-W-155C and P-F-00430C (GSA-FSS).8.4 Total SolidsTest Method D 2834.8.5 SedimentTest Method D 1290.8.6 AlkalinityT
