5.3.1.5 Measuring cylinder graduated in increments no greater than 10 ml.
5.3.1.6 Tap water.
5.3.2 Test procedure (see Figures 1 to 3)
a) Five cylindrically shaped strings of PU adhesive foam, each with a diameter between 20 mm to
30 mm and a length of approximately 200 mm are dispensed onto the application substrate at a
rate of 50 mm/s to 100 mm/s. The nozzle should be at a distance of (10 ± 5) mm above the
substrate to avoid touching the dispensed foam.
b) After a minimum curing time of 24 h, the strings are trimmed at both ends to an overall length of
between 100 mm to 150 mm.
c) The mass of each sample m shall be measured in grams with an accuracy of 0,1 g.
d) The measuring cylinder shall be filled to approximately 50 % of its capacity with tap water and the
reference volume V shall be recorded.
0
e) Each sample shall be submerged below the water surface in the measuring cylinder using the blade
of the cutting knife. The increased volume V shall be recorded immediately.

5.3.3 Calculation of results
The density of each of the five foam samples shall be determined using the following formula:
m
ρ × 1 000 (1)
a
VV−
10
where
3
ρ is the apparent density in kg/m ;
a
m is the mass of the specimen in g;
V is the volume level of water before the specimen immersion in ml;
0
V is the volume level of water and specimen following immersion in ml.

3 3
Each measurement is expressed in kg/m to an accuracy of 0,1 kg/m . The test result is the mean value
of five measurements.
3
If any individual measurement deviates more than ±5 kg/m from the mean value, the test result shall
be discarded.

5.4.1 Test apparatus and materials
5.4.1.1 Canister, with PU adhesive foam for evaluation.
5.4.1.2 Application substrate, e.g. PE-foil, paper or cardboard.
5.4.1.3 Small rod or tube made of PE, e.g. a straw.
5.4.1.4 Stopwatch (or clock capable of measuring in seconds).
5.4.2 Test procedure (see Figures 1 to 3)
a) One cylindrically shaped string of PU adhesive foam with a diameter of 20 mm to 30 mm is
dispensed onto the application substrate at a rate of 50 mm/s to 100 mm/s. The nozzle should be a
distance of (10 ± 5) mm above the substrate to avoid touching the dispensed foam. Record the time
at which dispensing started (t0).
b) The surface of the string shall be touched gently with the side of the small PE rod/tube without
penetrating the skin (see Figure 4).
