Adhesives - Short term method for measuring the emission properties of low-solvent or solvent-free adhesives after application - Part 4: Determination of volatile diisocyanates

This European Standard specifies a procedure for the determination of volatile isocyanates in the exhaust air of an emission test chamber after application of a low-solvent or solvent-free adhesive as defined in EN 923.
The method is based on chemosorption of volatile isocyanates with 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (in the following: 1-2MP) impregnated filters with subsequent desorption and liquid chromatographic analysis. The method permits measurement of a wide range of organic compounds containing isocyanate functional groups (NCO), including isocyanate monomers. For testing of adhesives emissions mainly toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene bis (4-phenyl isocyanate also known as 4,4-diisocyanato-diphenylmethane or MDI), are of concern. The method as described in this European Standard can be used for other isocyanates too, such as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) - see ISO 16702. Isocyanate oligomers or prepolymers are not volatile enough to be detected in emission test chambers at room temperature.

Klebstoffe - Kurzzeit-Verfahren zum Messen der Emissionseigenschaften von lösemittelarmen oder lösemittelfreien Klebstoffen nach der Applikation - Teil 4: Bestimmung flüchtiger Diisocyanate

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung flüchtiger organischer Isocyanate in der Abluft
einer Emissionsprüfkammer nach der Applikation eines lösemittelarmen oder lösemittelfreien Klebstoffes nach
EN 923 fest.
Das Verfahren beruht auf der Chemisorption von flüchtigen Isocyanaten durch mit 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-
Piperazin (im Folgenden: 1-2MP) imprägnierte Filter mit anschließender Desorption und flüssigkeitschromatographischer
Analyse. Das Verfahren erlaubt die Messung eines breiten Spektrums organischer Verbindungen,
die als funktionelle Gruppe eine Isocyanat-Gruppe (NCO) enthalten, einschließlich von Isocyanat-Monomeren.
Bei der Prüfung der Emission von Klebstoffen sind hauptsächlich Toluendiisocyanat (TDI) und 4,4'-Methylendi-(
phenylisocyanat, auch bekannt als Diphenylmethan-4,4'-diisocyanat oder MDI) von Interesse. Das in
dieser Europäischen Norm beschriebene Verfahren kann auch auf andere Isocyanate angewendet werden,
wie z. B. Isophorondiisocyanat (IPDI) und 1,6-Hexamethylendiisocyanat (HDI) — siehe ISO 16702.
Isocyanat-Oligomere oder Prepolymere sind für den Nachweis in Emissionsprüfkammern bei Raumtemperatur
nicht flüchtig genug.

Adhésifs - Méthodes de mesurage rapide des caractéristiques émissives des adhésifs à teneur faible ou nulle en solvants après application - Partie 4: Dosage des diisocyanates volatils

La présente Norme européenne spécifie un mode opératoire permettant de déterminer la présence d’isocyanates
dans l’air d’évacuation d’une chambre d’essai d’émission après application d’un adhésif à faible teneur en solvants
ou à teneur nulle en solvants tel que défini dans l’EN 923.
La méthode repose sur la chimisorption des isocyanates volatils avec filtres imprégnés de (méthoxy-1 phényle)-2
pipérazine (1-2MP) avec désorption et analyse chromatographique en phase liquide subséquents. Elle permet de
mesurer de nombreux composés organiques contenant des groupes fonctionnels d’isocyanates (NCO), notamment
les monomères isocyanate. Dans le cadre des essais d’émissions des adhésifs, sont principalement concernés
le diisocyanate de toluène (TDI) et le méthylène bis (4-phényl isocyanate, existant également sous le nom
de 4,4-diisocyanate de diphénylméthane ou MDI). La méthode décrite dans la présente Norme européenne peut
également être utilisée pour d’autres isocyanates, comme le diisocyanate d’isophorone (IPDI) et le 1,6- diisocyanate
d’hexaméthylène (HDI) — voir l’ISO 16702. Les oligomères ou prépolymères d’isocyanate ne sont pas suffisamment
volatils pour être détectés dans les chambres d’essai d’émission à température ambiante.

Isocyanate-derived peaks are identified on the basis of their UV responses at more than one wavelength and/or by diode array detection (DAD) and comparison with a derivative standard. Quantification is by comparison with the relevant isocyanate monomer standard. 4 Reagents and materials 4.1 Acetonitrile Acetonitrile of HPLC grade. 4.2 1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine
1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (1-2MP) of purity > 98 %. 4.3 Reagent solvent The reagent solvent, commonly toluene, shall be of chromatographic quality. It shall be free from compounds coeluting with the substances of interest. Before use for the preparation of standards it is advisable to dry the solvent with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate. 4.4 HPLC mobile phase Dissolve 5 g of anhydrous sodium acetate in 1 l distilled water. Adjust the pH of this solution to 6,0 with glacial acetic acid. Add 550 ml of this solution to acetonitrile (450 ml) to give a 45 % acetonitrile / 55 % sodium acetate buffer solution. Degas this solution by filtering under vacuum or by bubbling a stream of helium through it. All the reagents shall be of analytical grade. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Sampler 5.1.1 Filter holder Use an appropriate filter holder. NOTE Details of suitable sampling heads are given in MDHS14/2 [2]. A 25 mm head fitted with a stainless steel cassette as described in this reference is recommended for filter samples. 5.1.2 Filter Commercially fabricated 1-2MP filters or prepared impregnated filters as described in ISO 16702. 5.2 Filtration equipment A solvent resistant filter unit of < 0,5 µm pore size for filtration of HPLC solvents. Syringeless filters or
< 0,5 µm syringe filters for filtration of the desorbed samples prior to HPLC analysis. 5.3 Sampling pump The pump shall fulfil the requirements of EN 1232 or equivalent. SIST EN 13999-4:2007+A1:2009

Disassemble the samplers, soak in laboratory detergent solution, rinse thoroughly with water, wipe with absorptive tissue and allow to dry thoroughly before reassembling. Alternatively, use a laboratory washing machine. In an area free from isocyanates, load the filters into clean, dry samplers using clean flat-tipped tweezers. Connect each loaded sampling head to a sampling pump using plastic tubing ensuring that no leaks can occur. Switch on the pump, attach the calibrated flow meter to the sampling head so that it measures the flow through the sampler inlet orifice, an
