6、loric acid.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The isocyanate is mixed with an excess of methanol anda cosolvent. Additional acid is released into the solvent systemduring urethane formation. The acid then is titrated potentio-metrically with methanolic KOH, and the acidity present in theisocyanate sample
7、is calculated from the titer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used for research or for qualitycontrol to characterize aromatic isocyanates and prepolymersof moderate to high acidity. Acidity correlates with perfor-mance in some polyurethane systems.6. Apparatus6.1 250-mL Beakers.6.

Sampling8.1 Since organic isocyanates react with atmospheric mois-ture, take special prec
14、autions in sampling. Usual samplingmethods, even when conducted rapidly, can cause contamina-tion of the sample with insoluble urea. Therefore, blanket thesample with dry air or nitrogen at all times.NOTE 3Warning: Many diisocyanates are known or suspected sen-sitizers. Over-exposure to diisocyanate
15、s can lead to adverse health effectswhich may include the development of occupational asthma and otherrespiratory, skin and eye effects. Engineering controls and/or personalprotective equipment, including respiratory, skin and eye protection,should be used when there is a potential for over-exposure
16、 to diisocyan-ates. The product suppliers Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) providesmore detailed information about potential adverse health effects and otherimportant safety and handling information. Always follow the specificinstructions provided on the MSDS.9. Calibration9.1 Calibrate the electro
17、des using pH 4 and pH 7 aqueousbuffers.10. Test Conditions10.1 Since isocyanates react with moisture, keep laboratoryhumidity low, preferably around 50 % relative humidity.11. Procedure11.1 All samples shall be done in duplicate.11.2 Accurately weigh to the nearest 1 mg, 10 g of sampleinto a 250-mL
18、beaker.11.3 Add 50 mL of dried toluene or TCB.NOTE 4If this test method is used for prepolymers, substitute THF asthe solvent.11.4 Add 100 mL of methanol into the solution.11.5 Add a stir bar, cover with a watch glass, and stir for 20min.NOTE 5Samples must be at room temperature before titration. Wa
19、rmsamples cause more frequent electrode clogging.11.6 With uniform stitrring of the sample, automaticallytitrate the mixture with 0.02 N methanolic KOH through thepotentiometrically-determined inflection end point betweenapparent pH 4 and 9. Follow manufacturers instructions forinstrument-specific p
20、arameters for set-up, calibration andanalysis of samples.NOTE 6If results indicate a drift in the data or a slow electroderesponse, the pH electrode should be cleaned by soaking in 2:1 sulfuric:nitric acids for 10 min, followed by soaking in water for 20 min, and thenrinsing with acetone.11.7 Record
21、 the titrant volume for the potentiometric endpoint. If more than one potentiometric end point is found,record the one at highest apparent pH less than 7.NOTE 7The inflection point typically is at apparent pH between 4 and5.11.7.1 If no clear end point can be identified, calculateresults using the e
22、nd point at apparent pH 7.0, and report theresult as acidity at apparent pH 7.0.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the acidity as ppm HCl as follows:Acidity ppm HCl! 5Vsam!3N 3 Fsample weight g!#(1)where:Vsam = volume of titrant needed for the sample, mL,N = normality of the titrant solution, andF=36465=

Any unusualconditions during the operation shall also be reported, such asany heating required to effect solut
24、ion before titration, or endpoint identified different from that described in 11.7.14. Precision and Bias414.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1995 inaccordance with Practice E 180, involving two materials testedby twelve laboratories. For each material, all the samples wereprepared a
25、t one source, but the individual specimens wereprepared at the laboratories that tested them. Some laboratoriesgenerated a set of results for each of two solvents (toluene andTCB), and some laboratories generated a set of results for eachof two different electrode types. Neither change in experimen-
26、tal conditions was found to be a significant source of increasedvariability. Each of these combinations of conditions wastreated as a different laboratory for purposes of calculating theprecision data. Each test result was the average of twoindividual determinations. Each laboratory obtained two tes
27、tresults for each material for each combination of electrode andsolvent used. (WarningThe following explanations of r andR (14.1.1 and 14.1.2) are intended only to present a meaningfulway of considering the approximate precision of this testmethod.
