Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 wax blocking pointthe lowest temperature at whichfilm disruption occurs across 50 % of the waxed paper surfacewhen
8、 the test strips are separated.3.1.2 wax picking pointthe temperature at which the firstfilm disruption occurs on the waxed paper when test strips areseparated.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Paper test specimens are coated with the wax sample,folded with the waxed surfaces together, and placed on ablo
9、cking plate. The plate is heated at one end and cooled at theother end to impose a measured temperature gradient along itslength. After a conditioning period on the plate, the specimensare removed, unfolded, and examined. The points of initial filmdisruption (picking point) and where 50 % of the spe
10、cimenwidth is disrupted (50 % blocking point) are noted. Thetemperatures of corresponding points on the blocking plate arereported as the picking point and blocking point or blockingrange.5. Significance and Use5.1 Blocking of waxed paper, because of the relatively lowtemperatures at which it may oc
11、cur, can be a major problem tothe paper-coating industry. For example, when the waxedsurfaces in a roll of waxed paper stick together, upon separa-tion the surface films are marred and the glossy finish isdestroyed. The wax picking point and the wax blocking pointindicate an approximate temperature
12、range at or above whichwaxed surfaces in contact with each other are likely to causesurface film injury.6.

23、ling8.1 Select a portion of the wax that is representative of thewhole sample. The amount required will depend on the size ofthe waxing device used.9. Standardization of Apparatus9.1 Turn the blocking plate on with all sponge rubber stripsand metal blocks in position. Allow sufficient time (3 hminim
24、um) for the plate to reach an equilibrium temperaturecondition.9.2 Calibrate a 30-gauge “test” thermocouple as follows:Heat a beaker of water to about 43.3 C (110 F) and measureits temperature with a temperature measuring device which isaccurate to 0.3 C (0.5 F). Insert the “test” thermocouple inthe
25、 water and measure the temperature with a manual poten-tiometer which is accurate to at least 60.5 C (61 F). Aportable precision type potentiometer or a type Kpotentiometer, both of which are accurate to at least 0.5 F(0.3 C) in this temperature range, is preferred.9.3 Lay the calibrated “test” ther
26、mocouple across the widthof the plate with its junction directly over one of the imbeddedthermocouples. Be sure that one of the sponge rubber stripscovers the junction completely. Replace the weights on therubber strips. After 3 min to 4 min, note the temperaturereadings on the hand potentiometer an
27、d the correspondingpoint on the recorder. If the reading of the test thermocoupleplus its calibration factor is more than 0.5 C (1 F) from thatof the recorder reading, check the accuracy of the recorderseparately. If the recorder is satisfactory, the trouble may resultFIG. 1 Type A Blocking PlateD14
28、65 10 (2015)2from the thermocouple being damaged or not in solid contactwith the plate. Replace this thermocouple, taking care to tampit into place so that its junction is held firmly against the platemetal. Check the new thermocouple and each of the otherimbedded thermocouples in a like manner. Not
29、e the calibrationfactor of each.9.4 For best operation, install the blocking plate in aconstant temperature room. Check the plate calibrationperiodically, after installing new thermocouples, or if the platetemperatures vary more than 0.5 C (1 F) from the normalconditions.10. Preparation of Waxed Pap
30、er Test Specimens10.1 Heat the wax sample to at least 22 C (40 F) above itsexpected melting or congealing point according to Test MethodD87 or Test Method D938, using an air or water bath so as notto overheat portions of the sample. After cleaning the waxingdevice, fill the wax bath with the sample
31、to be tested. Hold thewax bath and the doctor rods or squeeze rolls at a temperatureat least 22 C (40 F) above the expected melting or congealingpoint of the wax. For machines not having positive temperaturecontrol (heated electrically or by hot water) of the doctor rodsor squeeze rolls, use infrare
32、d lamps or precontact the rolls withhot wax to heat them to about the wax bath temperature.10.2 Use paper conditioned at least a week at 23 C 62.0 C (73 F 6 3.5 F) and 50 % 6 5 % relative humidity.Load the wax coating device with the paper passing throughthe wax bath. Coat the paper with 6.5 g m2to
33、10 g m2(4 lb 3000 ft2to 6 lb 3000 ft2) of wax on one side and3.2 g m2to 10 g/m2(2 lb 3000 ft2to 6 lb 3000 ft2) of wax onthe other.10.3 Cool the wax coated paper to room temperature inambient air.NOTE 1As an alternative procedure, the wax coated paper may becooled by passage through a water bath. The
34、re is evidence, however, thewater quenching can cause variation in picking and blocking point valuesobtained on some waxes.10.4 Measure the coating weight using Test Method D2423,with the exception of substituting the blocking point strips inTest Method D1465 for the 100 mm by 100 mm square ofwaxed
35、paper in Test Method D2423. If the weights are otherthan 6.5 g m2to 10 g m2(4 lb ream to 6 lb ream) of wax onthe test surface and 3.2 g m2to 10 g m2(2 lb ream to6 lb ream) of wax on the back side, prepare another waxedpaper specimen.10.5 If the coating weights are satisfactory, cut two testspecimens
36、 from the waxed test paper, each specimen 25 mm(1 in.) wide and twice the length of the test section of theblocking plate.10.6 Condition the waxed specimens for at least 24 h at23 C 6 2.0 C (73 F 6 3.5 F) and 50 % 6 5 % relativehumidity.11. Procedure11.1 The blocking plate may be left on continuousl
37、y. Ifstarting with a cold plate, allow at least 3 h for the plate to heatup and reach an equilibrium condition with the pads andweights in place. Check the temperature recorder to be sure theplate is at the desired temperature.11.2 The blocking plates have room for seven or eight rowsof specimens ac
38、ross the plate. Fold the specimens to the lengthof the test section with the surfaces face to face. Cut singleunwaxed glassine paper strips (or glassine, if desired) the samesize as the folded, waxed test specimen. Insert the foldedwaxed specimen between the two unwaxed strips and place itlongitudin
39、ally on the blocking plate with the folded end on the“start” line at the hot end. Place a second waxed specimen andan unwaxed strip in a similar manner on top of the firstspecimen. Not more than two of these test specimens should beplaced in each testing space. Carefully smooth out the wrinklesFIG.
40、2 Type B Blocking PlateD1465 10 (2015)3in the specimens. Place any other specimens to be tested inother rows on the blocking bar in the same manner. If theblocking plate is not filled to capacity with specimens, insertsponge rubber pads and weights in the empty spaces.11.3 After 17 h exposure on the
41、 blocking plate, remove thespecimens together with the unwaxed spacer strips. Cool themfor a minimum of 5 min. Carefully peel off the unwaxed stripsand pull the specimens apart starting at cold end at a rate ofabout 152 mm (6 in.) s.11.4 Examine the test surfaces closely and mark the pickingpoint an
42、d the 50 % blocking point. The picking point is the firstof a series of spots of actual film disruption nearest the “cold”end of the strip. The 50 % blocking point is the first pointnearest the cold end where 50 % of the width of the strip showsfilm disruption. Fine, isolated lines across the strip
43、are not ratedas the 50 % blocking point. Loss of gloss or spotting withoutfilm disruption is not considered as blocking or picking.NOTE 2Several techniques have been used for viewing the test strips.These include viewing against reflected light, dusting the strips withgraphite, or placing an opaque
44、object behind the test strip.NOTE 3Loss of gloss (blooming) can sometimes be distinguishedfrom film disruption by lightly wiping the surface of the test paper with acotton gauze pad.12. Calculation and Report12.1 Plot the temperature gradient curve for the instrumentfrom the temperature recorder rea
45、dings. Aside from a slightrise in temperature when the specimens are first placed on theplate, the temperature of any single point should not vary morethan 0.3 C (0.5 F).12.2 Measure the distance from the fold to the two blockingpoint marks for each specimen with the wax sample beingtested. Note the
46、 blocking temperatures on the temperaturegradient curve corresponding to these distances.12.3 Report the average results to the nearest 0.5 C (1 F).A wax with a 41 C (106 F) initial film disruption and a 50 %blocking point of 43 C (110 F) would be reported as:12.3.1 Picking Point41 C (106 F).12.3.2
47、Blocking Point43 C (110 F).13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionResults should not differ from the mean bymore than the following amounts:13.1.1 Picking Point:13.1.1.1 Repeatability (one operator and apparatus), 2.8 C(5 F).13.1.1.2 Reproducibility (different operators and apparatus),3.6 C (6.5 F).13.
48、1.2 Blocking Point:13.1.2.1 Repeatability (one operator and apparatus), 1.7 C(3 F).13.1.2.2 Reproducibility (different operators and apparatus),3.3 C (6 F).NOTE 4The precision as stated in Section 13 was obtained by acooperative program among seven laboratories using two standard refer-ence waxes wh
49、ich have sharp blocking points. Where a sharp blockingpoint cannot be obtained because of the composition of the wax samplebeing tested, poorer precision in test results will be encountered.13.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the measurement of blocking and picking points canbe defined only in terms of a test method.14.
