Scope1.1 This practice describes standardized procedures for the preparation, spraying, packaging, and shipping of fresh spraypolyurethane foam (SPF) insulation product samples to be tested for their emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) andsemi-volatile organic compounds (

4、SVOCs). These procedures are applicable to both closed-cell and open-cell SPF insulationproducts. Potential chemical emissions of interest include blowing agents, solvents, aldehydes, amine catalysts, diisocyanates, andflame retardants.1.2 Typically, SPF insulation samples are prepared at one locati

5、on, such as a chemical manufacturing facility or a field productinstallation site. The newly prepared samples are preserved in a sealed bag, placed in a secondary container, and then shipped toa laboratory for testing.1.3 The spraying of SPF insulation products is only to be performed by trained ind

6、ividuals using professional sprayingequipment under controlled conditions. The details of the spraying equipment and spraying procedures are based on industrypractice and are outside of the scope of this practice.1.4 This practice also describes procedures for the laboratory preparation of test spec

7、imens from open-cell and closed-cell SPFinsulation product samples.

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is applicable to open-cell and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation. Procedures are describedfor the preparation, spraying, packaging, shipping, and test spe

24、cimen preparation of small, representative samples of theseproducts. The samples are then sent to a laboratory and tested for emissions of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds inenvironmental test chambers described in Guide D5116 and Practice Test Method D7706D8142.4.2 Samples are prepared

25、by trained and competent operators using professional spraying equipment. Detailed instructions onthe selection and operation of this equipment are outside of the scope of this practice. This practice specifies the information tobe collected during the spraying operation. A test sample is sprayed to

26、 a defined thickness and size onto a defined substrate. Thesample is wrapped with aluminum foil, packaged in a layered polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bag, placed in a secondarycontainer, and sent to the laboratory on the same day it is sprayed and prepared, if possible.4.3 Testing is to begin with

27、in 48 h of the time the sample is sprayed and prepared. When testing in a small-scale environmentalchamber, the laboratory cuts the sample to create a test specimen of a defined thickness and size. The thickness varies with producttype as specified in 8.3 and 8.4. The test specimen is placed into a

28、tight-fitting stainless-steel holder with only the upper face ofthe product exposed. The specimen in its holder is transferred to the test chamber. Specialized procedures are described in 8.5 forpreparing specimens for testing in micro-scale chambers.5. Significance and Use5.1 Manufacturers of SPF i

29、nsulation may need to test their products for vapor-phase emissions of volatile and semi-volatileorganic compounds in order to comply with voluntary standards, purchase specifications, or other requirements.5.2 Since SPF insulation is formed by chemical reaction when combining a two-component mixtur

30、e during spraying,specialized equipment and procedures are needed to reproducibly create representative samples suitable for emission testing.5.3 SPF insulation product manufacturers specifications and instructions must be followed carefully and detailed informationregarding the spraying process mus

31、t be recorded (see 7.3). Other precautions regarding handling and shipping are needed to ensurethat the chemical integrity of the samples is preserved to the extent possible by practical means (see 7.5).5.4 Laboratories must prepare representative test specimens from samples of SPF insulation in a c

32、onsistent manner so thatemission tests can be reproduced and reliable comparisons can be made between test data for different samples.6. Materials6.1 Spray gun and related spraying equipment for application of the SPF insulation product shall be as specified by the SPFinsulation product manufacturer

Sample Preparation7.1 Prepare and spray the SPF insulation sample either in a controlled spray booth or room at a product manufacturing locationor in the field at a building application site using the equipment and processing parameters that are specified by the SPF insulationproduct m

42、anufacturer for application of the product in buildings. The spray booth or room should be maintained at a constanttemperature of 23 6 2C and relative humidity of 80%. However, the preparer may elect to utilize different environmentalparameters in the spray booth or room to mimic a particular field

43、condition (for example, cold weather application). Environmentalconditions of the spray booth or room must be documented. For safety and to ensure that samples are prepared properly,preparation and spraying must be conducted by a trained and competent operator. Follow all applicable safety instructi

44、ons.NOTE 2Industry programs that accredit spray foam contractors and operators are available.47.2 Prior to spraying the SPF insulation sample, the operator shall ensure that the container of the B-side material of the productis adequately mixed if specified by the manufacturer. Prior to spraying, th

45、e operator flushes the spray equipment using the productformulation to be tested so that potential residuals from previously-sprayed products do not contaminate the sample. Flush theA-A-side and B-side hoses with the material to be sprayed using volume equal to at least three times the hose volume.

46、If the spraygun incorporates a self-cleaning mechanism (that is, solvent), the solvent name and its Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registrynumber are recorded and communicated to the laboratory.7.3 At the time of spraying, record the following information:7.3.1 Spray operator name, affiliation, and

47、, if applicable, certifications/accreditations;7.3.2 SPF insulation product manufacturer name, product name, whether open-cell or closed cell formulation, and lot numbersof the A-A-side and B-side SPF materials;7.3.3 Manufacturer, model, and serial numbers for the spray gun, gun tip, proportioner, a
