ASTM D6827-02(2016)

Standard Test Method for Zinc Analysis of Floor Polishes and Floor Polish Polymers By Flame Atomic Absorption (A.A.)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
2.1 This test method is generally accepted for the preparation of floor polish and floor polish polymers for the analysis of total zinc content. Knowing the total zinc content of a floor finish or polymer can aid in determining the proper disposal method of used or unwanted product.
SCOPE
1.1 This laboratory test method covers the analysis of floor polishes and floor polish polymers for total zinc content.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

5. Procedure
5.1 Sample Preparation:
5.1.1 Before a sample can be run for total zinc, it must be prepared so that any insoluble zinc will be solubilized and not
removed by the filtering process. By preparing the sample in the following way, the analysis will be much more accurate (testing
total zinc instead of soluble zinc). The prep method will also lessen the chance of clogging the nebulizer of the atomic absorption
unit with particulate matter.
5.2 Prep Method:
5.2.1 Important—All glassware used must be washed with 1:1 nitric acid solution and rinsed with deionized water to eliminate
contamination.
5.2.2 Weigh approximately 50 g of sample into a 100–mL beaker. Record the exact weight to 0.001 g on the analysis sheet.
This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D21 on Polishes and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D21.03 on Chemical and Physical
Testing.
