Surface active agents - Determination of the water number of alkoxylated products

This European Standard specifies the determination of the water number of ethoxylated products up to about 70 % ethylene oxide. EO/PO block polymers with water numbers higher than about 23 become hard to interpret.
NOTE   The values obtained by this method are not completely identical with the water number obtained in dioxane, in particular water numbers higher than 23.

Grenzflächenaktive Stoffe - Bestimmung der Wasserzahl von alkoxylierten Produkten

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Bestimmung der Wasserzahl von ethoxylierten Produkten mit einem Massen-anteil an Ethylenoxid bis zu etwa 70 % fest. EO/PO-Blockpolymere mit Wasserzahlen größer als etwa 23 sind schwierig zu interpretieren.
ANMERKUNG   Die Werte, die mit diesem Verfahren bestimmt werden, sind jedoch nicht vollständig identisch mit der Wasserzahl, die in Dioxan erhalten wird; dies gilt besonders für Wasserzahlen größer als 23.

Agents de surface - Détermination du nombre d'eau dans les produits alkoxylés

La présente Norme européenne prescrit une méthode de détermination du nombre d'eau des produits éthoxylés contenant jusqu'à 70 % d'oxyde d'éthylène. Les polymères d'OE/OP en blocs dont le nombre d'eau est supérieur à environ 23, posent des problèmes d'interprétation.
NOTE   Les valeurs obtenues avec la présente méthode ne sont pas absolument identiques au nombre d'eau obtenu avec le dioxane, en particulier dans le cas de nombres d'eau supérieurs à 23.

[1] and W.C. Griffin [2] proposed the so-called water number as aneasy-to-measure criterion for the hydrophilic-lipophilic-balance (HLB) value of surface active agents and oils. Themethod described was based on a dioxane/benzene mixture. In the following test method noxious benzene hasbeen replaced by toluene. The water number is not altered by this change.It is also possible to replace dioxane with triethylene glycol dimethyl ether. This, however, results in a change in theabsolute numerical value of the water number, especially for high molecular mass nonionics (for example ethyleneoxide/propylene oxide (EO/PO) block polymers).SIST EN 12836:2002
