13、ETY STATEMENT Persons using this document should be familiar with the normal laboratory practice, if applicable. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health prac
14、tices and to ensure compliance with any regulatory conditions. ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT It is understood that some of the material permitted in this standard may have negative environmental impact. As technological advantages lead to acceptable alternatives for these materials, they will be eliminate
15、d from this standard to the extent possible. At the end of the test, the user of the standard should take care to carry out an appropriate disposal of the wastes, according to local regulation. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following c

BS EN 1239:2011EN 1239:2011 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the evaluation of the freeze-thaw stability of adhesives, their basic constituents and related products. This test has no significance if the sample doe
18、s not freeze under the test conditions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendme
19、nts) applies. EN 923:2005+A1:2008, Adhesives Terms and definitions EN 1067, Adhesives Examination and preparation of samples for testing EN 12092, Adhesives Determination of viscosity EN ISO 15605, Adhesives Sampling (ISO 15605:2000) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the ter
20、ms and definitions given in EN 923:2005+A1:2008 apply. 4 Principle Measure the viscosity of a sample of the adhesive being tested by placing it in a test chamber for 16 h at a selected temperature of - 5 C, - 10 C, - 15 C or - 20 C, then holding it for 8 h at (23 1) C and finally checking the aspect
21、 of the adhesive. If no coagulum is formed, the cycle is repeated, i.e. the sample is stored at the selected temperature for another 16 h and then held at (23 1) C for 8 h up to a maximum number of three cycles. The final viscosity of the adhesive is measured. Freeze-thaw cycle stability is indicate
22、d by the selected test temperature and the number of cycles endured without visible coagulation at an increase of viscosity not exceeding the manufacturers specification limits. NOTE 1 The freezing temperature selected depends on the chemical nature of the adhesive to be tested and the temperature c
23、onditions to which the adhesive is exposed in service. If necessary, preliminary tests should be carried out in order to determine the appropriate test temperature. NOTE 2 The results obtained by this method are not necessarily applicable to larger-volume vessels. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Cylindrical contain
24、er, 90 mm height, 60 mm inside diameter and 2 mm wall thickness with a large opening on the top and capable of being sealed with an airtight lid. NOTE At test temperatures of - 5 C or - 10 C the container can be made of polyethylene; at lower freezing temperatures cylindrical stainless steel contain
25、er can be used. BS EN 1239:2011EN 1239:2011 (E) 5 5.2 Test chamber, a cabinet, room or enclosure space large enough to contain the samples to be tested allowing at least 25 mm of air space between the sides of adjacent containers and capable of being controlled at temperatures of (- 5 1) C, (- 10 1)
26、 C, (- 15 1) C, and (- 20 1) C, respectively. 5.3 Thermometer, allowing measurement of the temperature inside the test chamber to be 0,5 C. 5.4 Viscometer, in accordance with EN 12092 to determine the viscosity of the adhesive to be tested. 6 Sampling, examination and preparation of samples A signif
27、icant sample of the adhesive shall be taken in accordance with EN ISO 15605 and prepared for testing as described in EN 1067. 7 Procedure 7.1 Measure the viscosity of the sample at (23 1) C in accordance with EN 12092 using a suitable viscometer (see 5.4) and note the result. 7.2 Put (200 5) ml of t
28、he test sample into the cylindrical container (see 5.1). 7.3 Seal the container airtight and place it for 16 h in the test chamber (see 5.2) set at the selected freezing temperature. 7.4 Remove the container from the test chamber and let it thaw at (23 1) C for 8 h. 7.5 Check by insertion of a glass
29、 rod the condition of the sample (homogeneous, water layer on its top, thickened, irreversible gelation, e.g. by formation of elastic, rubbery materials) and note the result. NOTE If visible coagulation is formed that cannot be dispersed by manual stirring, the test is regarded as completed. If this
30、 test is not conclusive, the adhesive should be exposed to a further complete freeze-thaw cycle. 7.6 Homogenize the sample, where the sample shows a surface-water layer or is thickened. 7.7 Continue the test until three freeze-thaw cycles are completed without stating visible coagulum. 7.8 Measure a
31、gain the viscosity of the sample at (23 1) C as described in 7.1. 7.9 Note the test temperature, the condition of the adhesive (see 7.5) after each cycle, the number of cycles completed without formation of visible, indispensable coagulum, the initial viscosity (see 7.1) and the final viscosity (see
32、 7.8) determined. 8 Expression of results and classification 8.1 Expression of results The freeze-thaw stability of the adhesive tested at a selected freeze temperature is expressed as the number of cycles endured without the formation of visible and indispersable coagulum and a change of viscosity
33、not exceeding the manufacturers specification limits. BS EN 1239:2011EN 1239:2011 (E) 6 8.2 Classification In accordance with the test results obtained, the adhesive shall be classified: “freeze temperature / number of cycles“ For example, an adhesive belongs to the freeze-thaw stability class “- 10
34、 C/3 cycles“ in accordance with EN 1239 if enduring three cycles without visible coagulation at a freeze temperature of - 10 C. 9 Test report The test report shall include: a) reference to this European Standard, i.e. EN 1239; b) complete identification of the adhesive under test, in particular type
35、, name/designation, manufacturer, and lot number/date of supply; c) freeze temperature applied in the test cycles; d) initial (see 7.1) and final (see 7.8) viscosities of the adhesive tested; e) test results expressed in accordance with 8.1; f) classification in accordance with 8.2; g) any modificat
36、ion of the procedure described in this standard and any circumstances which may have affected the result; h) date of test.
