ASTM D2834-95(2002)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Nonvolatile Matter (Total Solids) in Water-Emulsion Floor Polishes, Solvent-Based Floor Polishes, and Polymer-Emulsion Floor Polishes
Standard Test Method for Nonvolatile Matter (Total Solids) in Water-Emulsion Floor Polishes, Solvent-Based Floor Polishes, and Polymer-Emulsion Floor Polishes
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Nonvolatile matter determination is useful as a quality control test, when used in conjunction with other tests, to assure specification compliance.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of nonvolatile matter (total solids) in a water-emulsion, organic solvent- base liquid and paste floor polishes, and polymer-emulsion-type floor polishes.
1.2 This test method recognizes that the products may contain material that will slowly volatilize or change chemically with a resulting change in weight of the nonvolatile matter. Therefore, since drying to constant weight is impractical, specific drying times have been selected.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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.
