Mixing Procedures6.1 The following four mixing test methods are offered:6.1.1 Method AInternal Mixer Procedure (6.2),6.1.2 Method BInternal Mixer
11、/Mill Procedure (6.3),6.1.3 Method CMill Procedure (6.4), and6.1.4 Method DMiniature Internal Mixer Procedure (6.5).NOTE 2It is not implied that comparable results will be obtained bythese test methods.NOTE 3Since the mill handling characteristics of the solution polyb-utadiene rubbers are somewhat
12、more difficult than that of other rubbers theuse of one of the internal mixer procedures is recommended (Method A,B, or D). The mill procedure (Method C) may be used provided a goodcarbon black dispersion is obtained.6.2 Internal Mixer Initial Mix (Methods A, B):1These test methods are under the jur
