26、Test methods 5.1 Tests on dispersion 5.1.1 Ash content 5.1.1.1 General See EN ISO 3451-1. EN 15334:2007 (E) 6 Materials with filler made from aluminium trihydrate are exempt from this test. 5.1.1.2 Apparatus Source of heat ensuring the combustion of organic materials. Means of ensuring homogeneity o
27、f the dispersion to be tested (this is most important for dispersions with high levels of sedimentation). Spatula for the sample. 5.1.1.3 Sample 2 g to 15 g of dispersion according to the dimensions of particles. 5.1.1.4 Procedure Ensure the sample is representative of the material to be tested. Sti
28、r or roll a larger sample of product for a minimum of 1 h to ensure redispersion of the product. Check that the crucible is clean and dry (heat the crucible to red hot to remove any combustible material). Allow to cool. Weigh the crucible (A). Give the product a final stir and then rapidly scoop a s
29、patula full of material into the crucible. Do not wait to drain the material from the spatula as consistency at this time is key to achieving reproducible results. Place the crucible on a scale and reweigh (B). If additional material is required, repeat the final step (final stir of the product). If
30、 too much material has been added, dispose of the contents and repeat from step (check crucible is clean and dry). Heat the crucible to red hot and burn off the combustible material. Ensure that the material does not spit out of the crucible during heating. This process will take a minimum of 5 min.
31、 Gently shake the crucible to make sure the remaining inorganic particles are free to move. If there are any agglomerates, repeat the procedure (heat the crucible to red hot). Allow to cool. Weigh the crucible (C). Calculate the ash content (AC), as percentage, as follows: AC= 100ABAC(1) 5.1.2 Agglo
32、meration 5.1.2.1 General This test is for solid coloured material only and applies to materials with a particle size lower than 50 m. EN 15334:2007 (E) 7 5.1.2.2 Apparatus Steel filter, mesh size (180 20) m. 5.1.2.3 Sample 100 g of dispersion. 5.1.2.4 Procedure Dilute 100 g of the material under tes
33、t with an equal volume of clean methyl methacrylate monomer. Pour this through the filter and rinse with more clean monomer. Check as to if agglomerates are left on the filter. 5.1.3 Contamination 5.1.3.1 Apparatus Light box with an opal cover. Clear polyester film (30 cm wide roll). Laboratory bala
34、nce. Two glass plates (300 mm x 300 mm x 4 mm). 5.1.3.2 Sample 100 g of dispersion. 5.1.3.3 Procedure Place one glass plate on the balance. Cut a piece of polyester film approximately 0,5 m long and place it on the glass. Tare the balance and weigh 50 g of the sample onto the polyester film and cove
35、r with another similar sized piece of polyester film. Place the glass plate over the opal panel on the light box. Place the second glass on top of the “cell allowing the sample to spread to form a circle approximately 0,25 m in diameter. Count the number of contaminants within the viewing area. Reco

37、. Balance capable of determining weight up to 200 g to two decimal figures. Acetone. Lidded labelled container. 5.1.4.2 Sample Dispersion, enough to fill the flask. Avoid any sedimentation before pouring into the flask. 5.1.4.3 Procedure Ensure that the conical flask and glass disc are clean and dry
38、. Record the combined weight of the flask and disc (Weight = A grams). Fill the flask with water at (23 2) C and place the glass disc on top of the flask. The correct volume of water has been dispensed into the flask when no air bubbles can be seen entrained below the glass disc. If the flask has be
39、en overfilled, excess water on the underside of the disc and the outside of the flask must be removed before reweighing (Weight = B grams). Discard the water and thoroughly dry the flask and disc before using with the dispersions under test. Assuming a density of 1,0 g/cm-3for water at 23 C, the vol
40、ume of the flask at 23 C (VF) is calculated as: VF= 1AB cm3(2) Ensure that the dispersion to be tested is fully re-dispersed at (23 1) C. Pour the dispersion into the dry flask until full and place the glass disc on the top. As when determining the flask volume, ensure there are no air bubbles benea
41、th the glass disc. Remove any excess dispersion on the underside of the disc or on the outside of the flask before weighing (Weight = C grams). Rinse the flask and disc repeatedly with acetone until clean. Dry the flask thoroughly before filling it with the next test sample. Density of the dispersio
42、n at 23 C (d) is determined as follows: d=FVAC g/m3 (3) The density should be quoted to two decimal figures. 5.1.5 Viscosity 5.1.5.1 General This test is not applicable for sedimenting products. 5.1.5.2 Apparatus Brookfield viscometer. Viscometer spindles as defined on the product test specification
43、 sheet. Thermometer. EN 15334:2007 (E) 9 Stopwatch. 5.1.5.3 Sample Dispersion under consideration. 5.1.5.4 Procedure Ensure that the sample has been rolling for at least 4 h at 30 to 40 rev/min and is at (23 2) C to ensure product dispersion and correct temperature. Make sure the viscometer is level
44、 and select the appropriate speed and spindle for the material to be tested. Place the sample under the spindle and lower the viscometer until the spindle immersion mark is level with the surface of the sample and in the centre of the tin. Wait the specified standing time, then press down on the clu
45、tch lever and start the machine. After approximately 10 s, release the clutch lever and start the stopwatch. Wait the specified test time and press and hold down the clutch lever again to lock the reading. When the pointer is visible in the window stop the machine and take the reading from the dial
46、before releasing the clutch lever. Calculate the viscosity by multiplying the scale reading by the spindle factor (see Table 2). Note that this gives the viscosity in centipoise (1 centipoise = 0,01 Ps). Repeat the test at additional speeds as defined on the product test specification sheet. If requ
47、ired, calculate the thixotropy index (TI) as follows: 1230=TI (4) where v30 is the viscosity at 30 rpm v12is the viscosity at 12 rpm (4) Table 2- Spindle factors for Brookfield model LV viscosimeter Speed (min-1) Spindle 1 Spindle 2 Spindle 3 Spindle 4 6 10 50 200 1 000 12 5 25 100 500 30 2 10 40 20
