2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a general procedure for thedetermination of insoluble impurities

The insolublecontent is calculated from the amount of residue.4. Significance and Use4.1 Sulfenamides can degrade in chemica
7、l purity and func-tional performance, usually characterized by a drop in assay, arelease of free amine, and an increase in insolubles. This testmethod may be used as an indication of such degradation.4.2 Since MBTS (mercaptobenzothiazole disulfide) is aprimary degradation product of sulfenamides, th
8、e determina-tion of MBTS is a means of assessing possible degradation ofsulfenamides. Insolubles are a means of mercaptobenzothiazyldisulfide (MBTS) content of the sulfenamide; MBTS is aprimary degradation product of sulfenamides. Amine salts ofmercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) may also be insoluble.Howev
9、er, certain soluble species may also be generated duringsulfenamide degradation. Consequently, insolubles are not anabsolute measure of purity and can actually decrease withsulfenamide degradation.5.

Hazards7.1 Methanol and cyclohexane, with threshold limit values(TLVs) of 200 cm3/m3and 300 cm3/m3, respectively, and highflammability, should be handled with appropriate caution.7.2 Good laboratory safety practices should be followed inhandling all chem

Procedure9.1 Solvents:9.1.1 MethanolUse for testing specimens ofN-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS), N,N-diisopr
18、opyl-2-benzothiazyl sulfenamide (DIBS), 2(morpholi-nothio)benzothiazole (MBS), and N-tert-butyl-benzothiazolesulfenamide (TBBS).9.1.2 CyclohexaneUse for testing DCBS specimens.9.2 Grind approximately 10 g of a well-mixed lot sample sothat material passes through a 30-mesh (0.6-mm) sieve.9.3 Transfer
19、5gofthespecimen (W1), weighed to thenearest 0.01 g, to a 300-cm3Erlenmeyer flask. Using agraduated cylinder, add 250 cm3of methanol. In the case ofDCBS, use cyclohexane instead of methanol. Cover the flaskwith a watch glass and stir cold, on a magnetic stirrer, for 30min at 25 6 5C.9.4 Filter the so
20、lution, with suction, through a clean, dry,preweighed (W2) sintered glass crucible. It is important thatduring filtration, the crucible is only half filled. Wash theErlenmeyer flask with 25 cm3of methanol, or in the case ofDCBS, with 25 cm3of cyclohexane. Filter the washings.9.5 At the end of the fi
21、ltration, remove the suction and washthe crucible two times with 25 cm3of methanol or, in the caseof DCBS, with 25 cm3of cyclohexane. Allow to stand for 2min and then suck the washings through quickly. When this hasbeen done, the walls of the crucible should be free fromresidue.9.6 Dry the crucible
22、for 60 min in an oven maintained at70C.9.7 Cool to room temperature in a desiccator and obtain themass of the crucible plus insolubles to the nearest milligram(W3).10.

Refer to Practice D4483 forterminology and other statistical calculation details.12.1.1 The precision results in this precision and biassection give an estimate of the precision of this test meth

28、te value of r, R,(r), or (R), that is, that value tobe used in decisions about test results (obtained with the testmethod). The appropriate value is that value of r or Rassociated with a mean level in Table 1 closest to the meanlevel under consideration at any given time, for any givenmaterial, anal

Two single test results, obtained under normal testprocedures, that differ by more than this tabulated r (for any
30、given level) must be considered as derived from different ornonidentical sample populations.12.5 ReproducibilityThe reproducibility, R, of this testmethod has been established as the appropriate value tabulatedin Table 1.
