1、Designation: D4142 89 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Guide forTesting Epoxy Resins1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4142; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenth
2、eses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers methods for testing epoxy resins aslisted in Table 1. All of the methods were tested by interlabo-ratory participation in accordance w
3、ith usual ASTM guide-lines. Each method specifies a recommended amount of samplefor starting a separate analysis, but several of the procedurescan be conducted on the same starting material if so desired.For example, viscosity, color, and density could be run on thesame specimen.1.2 This standard do

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.

8、Content4.1 The epoxy content of epoxy resins is determined byreacting a solution of the resin with a standard solution ofhydrogen bromide in glacial acetic acid. The quantity of acidconsumed is a measure of the epoxy content. Test MethodsD1652 was found to have a repeatability of 2 % of the epoxycon

Hydrolyzable Chlorine5.1 Test Method D1726 covers the determination of theeasily hydrolyzable chlorine content of liquid epoxy resins inconcentrations below 1 weight %. The specimen is refluxedwith a known amount of a standard alcoholic potas
10、siumhydroxide solution. The amount of hydroxide consumed ismeasured by titration and corresponds to the hydrolyzablechlorine content of the resin. By interlaboratory testing, therepeatability was found to be 0.02 %, and the reproducibilitywas found to be 0.05 %, both absolute.6. Total Chlorine6.1 Or

The absolute repeatabil-ity and reproducibility for the titration method are 0.02 and0.05 weight %, respective
16、ly. For the gravimetric method, therepeatability and reproducibility are both reported to be 0.05weight %, absolute.7. Viscosity7.1 Kinematic viscosity is determined by measuring thetime for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through acalibrated glass capillary viscometer in accordance with Te
17、stMethod D445. The dynamic viscosity can be obtained bymultiplying the measured kinematic viscosity by the density ofthe liquid. The limits of precision at the three sigma level ofconfidence were found to be 0.35 % relative within onelaboratory and 0.70 % relative between laboratories.7.2 It is also
18、 possible to measure viscosity by the bubbletime method described in Test Method D1545. The rise time ofa bubble in the resin contained in an ASTM viscosity tube ismeasured. The rise time in seconds is approximately equal tothe viscosity in stokes. In the range from 4.5 to 440 St,duplicate runs by o
19、ne operator should be considered suspect ifthey differ by more than 4.9 % relative. Two results, each themean of duplicates obtained by different operators should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 9.0 % relative.8. Color8.1 Test Method D1544 covers the measurement of thecolor of trans
20、parent liquids by means of comparison witharbitrarily numbered glass standards. Two results obtained by asingle operator should be considered suspect if they differ bymore than two thirds of a color number. Two results, each themean of duplicate measurements obtained by operators indifferent laborat
21、ories should be considered suspect if theydiffer by more than four thirds of a color number.8.2 The color of epoxy resins having light absorptioncharacteristics nearly identical with those of the platinum-cobalt color standards can be measured by the use of TestMethod D1209.9. Density9.1 Test Method
22、 D1475 is applicable to liquid epoxy resins.This test method makes use of a weight-per-gallon cup and isparticularly useful where the fluid to be measured has a highviscosity or where a component is too volatile for a specificgravity balance determination. The limits of precision at thethree sigma l
23、evel of confidence were found to be 60.008 lb/galwithin one laboratory and 6 0.015 lb/gal between laboratories.10. Nonvolatile Content10.1 Since epoxy resins tend to release solvent slowly, it ispreferred to use a thin film or “foil method,” in which the resinis pressed between sheets of aluminum fo
24、il to spread it to a thinfilm. Method B of Test Methods D1259 is applicable to epoxyresins. The repeatability is 0.3 % and the reproducibility is0.5 %, both absolute.11. Acid Value11.1 Acid value of an epoxy resin as determined by TestMethod D1639 is expressed as the number of milligrams ofpotassium
25、 hydroxide required to neutralize the free acidity of 1g of nonvolatile material under the condition of the test.12.
