ASTM D1582-98(2017)

Standard Test Method for Nonvolatile Content of Liquid Phenol, Resorcinol, and Melamine Adhesives

ABSTRACT
This test method covers the determination of nonvolatile content or total solids of liquid phenol, resorcinol, and melamine adhesives with or without hardener added and containing high-boiling and low-boiling volatile organic solvents or water, or both. The equipments to be used in the test shall include a petri dish, circulating-air oven, desiccator, and analytical balance. In determining the nonvolatile content of the liquid adhesives without hardener, the procedure shall include oven-drying, cooling in a desiccator, and weighing of adhesive and quartz sand . The percent nonvolatile content shall be calculated based on the amount remaining. On the other hand, the procedure for the liquid adhesives with hardener shall include oven-drying, cooling in a desiccator, and weighing of mixed adhesives. Also, the percent nonvolatile content shall be calculated based on the amount remaining.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of nonvolatile content or total solids of liquid phenol, resorcinol, and melamine adhesives with or without hardener (Note 1) added and containing high-boiling and low-boiling volatile organic solvents or water, or both.  
Note 1: Some low molecular weight materials in the adhesive may be lost if hardener is not used. When a hardener is used, it must be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.3 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, health and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precautions, see 5.2.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

6.1 Except in special cases, take a composite sample from three or more separate containers chosen at random. Also, take
samples from containers which appear to be nonrepresentative and test such samples separately. Place the samples immediately
in airtight containers, filled to prevent excessive air space above the adhesive, and take precautions to reduce evaporation or drying
to a minimum. Mix the adhesive in the container thoroughly if there is a tendency for the materials to separate.
6.2 Test three specimens of each sample.
7. Procedure
7.1 70°C Drying Temperature Without Hardener:
7.1.1 Place approximately 20 g of the adhesive in a covered weighing bottle.
7.1.2 Place approximately 10 g of fine, oven-dried quartz sand in an open Petri dish, together with a small glass stirring rod,
and weigh the dish, rod, and contents to the nearest 1 mg on the analytical balance. Weigh out to the nearest 1 mg approximately
