Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 18473-1:2015(E)
Introduction
Sealants are widely used to prevent the penetration of air, gas, or liquid in many industries including
construction, automobile, and electronics. Extenders are essential part of sealant formulation to reduce
cost and improve their rheological and mechanical properties. Content of extenders vary significantly
and can be as high as 50 % (mass fraction). The most common extender in sealants is calcium carbonate
(CaCO ) because it is readily available and comes in various sizes which act as a rheological modifier,
a reinforcing agent, and opacifier. Commercial calcium carbonate can be divided into ground calcium
carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), possesses three crystal structures including
calcite, aragonite, and vaterite, and exists in various morphologies such as cubic, spherical, spindle,
fibrous, needle-like, etc. Calcium carbonates with calcite crystal structure and cubic or spherical
morphology are most widely used in sealant applications.
Nanoscale calcium carbonate (NCC) provides various sealants with improved performance and
additional functionalities including thixotropy, flame resistance and improved durability and
recyclability, and has become a major component in sealant formulation. Nanoscale calcium carbonate
in the powdered form is readily manufactured nowadays, mostly through precipitation route to control
the size and morphology. Surface treatment is crucial for utilizing NCC in sealants. Native CaCO is
hydrophilic. As a result, it tends to agglomerate in organic polymers and plasticizers. NCC, in particular,
has a greater propensity for agglomeration because of its small size and large specific surface area.
NCCs are surface treated to render them hydrophobic and improve their dispersibility in hydrophobic
systems. Surface treatment also improves polymer matrix compatibility, thus improving interfacial
adhesion between extender and polymer.
It has been found that the particle size, specific surface area, mass fraction, morphology, pH value,
magnesium content, oil absorption value, moisture content, and other characteristics of supplied
nanoscale calcium carbonate all have impact on the performance of the sealant incorporating these
nanoparticles. The need to specify the characteristics of NCC which relate to sealant performance
comes from the following facts. First, the agreements between customers and suppliers do not always
cover all material characteristics that have influences on performance and/or processability of sealants
or they have been in
