10、ASTMCommittee D02.04.C.3. Summary of Classification3.1 The boiling point range of the petroleum wax is deter-mined by simulated distillation by gas chromatography (TestMethod D2887). If necessary, an internal standard is used todetermine the amount of material not volatile under theconditions of the
11、 chromatograph.3.2 Classification is made on the basis of the amount of thesample with normal boiling point above 538C (1000F).3.3 Further characterization is then done using other testmethods on the wax. In particular, the melting point behavior,color, odor, and viscosity when melted and refractive

Significance and Use4.1 Petroleum waxes in rubber compounds are commonlyused to provide protection from degradation by ozone understatic conditions, that is, when there is little or no flexing of therubber products.

In general, waxes of lower molecu-lar weight (“paraffinic” or “crystalline”) migrate through therubber more rapidly and form more brittle film than the highermolecular weight waxes (“microcrystalline”).

19、 (carbon number 42) is indicated in TestMethod D2887 by a baseline that does not return to zero at anequivalent temperature of 538C. Internal standard methodsare used to determine the amount of high boiling material. It isoften useful to use cyclohexane or toluene both for a solvent toinject the wax
