1、Designation: D3111 10Standard Test Method forFlexibility Determination of Hot-Melt Adhesives by MandrelBend Test Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3111; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the flex-ibility of a hot-melt adhesive in sheet form under speci

3、fic testconditions. This is a working test. Its results are useful forcomparing adhesives, not for absolute characterization ofadhesives.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to

4、address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsMany of the terms found in this testmethod are defined in Terminology D907.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 flexibility, nthat property of

6、a material by virtue ofwhich it may be flexed or bowed repeatedly without undergo-ing rupture.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Test strips of a hot-melt adhesive properly sized andconditioned, are bent 180 over a mandrel (rod). Using a freshspecimen for each test, the test is repeated with smallerdiamet

7、er mandrels until the adhesive fails on bending. Theflexibility of the adhesive is the smallest diameter mandrel overwhich four out of five test specimens do not break.5. Significance and Use5.1 The “Mandrel Bend” test is simple and fast. It requireslittle investment in equipment and little operator

8、 training. Theprime purpose is to determine whether a hot-melt adhesivemeets flexibility requirements. This test is also useful forcomparing flexibility of several adhesives. It can be used todesign adhesives by comparing the flexibility of variousformulations to meet specific end use parameters. Th

9、e adhesiveflexibility can be determined at temperatures other than ambi-ent by conditioning the test apparatus and test specimens at thedesired temperature and performing the test under thesetemperature conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 The test apparatus consists of a series of differentdiameter cylindric

10、al rods or mandrels supported at each end.There shall be enough space to permit placement of the flat sideof a test specimen tangentially at right angles to the longitu-dinal axis of the test mandrel. Individual requirements deter-mine the diameter and lengths of the rods needed. For mosttests, 3.2

11、mm (;18 in.), 6.4 mm (;14 in.), and 12.8 mm (;12in.) diameter by 75 to 150-mm (;3 to 6-in.) long rods made ofbrass or stainless steel are satisfactory. Fig. 1 describes twosimple test frames, one with fixed mandrels and the otherdesigned to take any diameter mandrel.7. Test Specimen7.1 The test spec

12、imen dimensions can be varied dependingon the end use requirements of the hot-melt adhesive. Fig. 2describes a recommended specimen size. It is 10 mm (;0.4in.) wide, 75 mm (;3 in.) long and 1.25 6 0.01 mm (;0.05in.) thick. The thickness dimension is critical and must beaccurately measured. The test

13、specimens shall be cut frommolded or extruded sheets or film. Plying of several thinnersamples shall not be permitted. No flaws visible anywhere inthe sample to the naked eye shall be permitted.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D14 onAdhesives and is the direct responsibi

16、s.8. Conditioning8.1 Store the test specimens and test apparatus at the testconditions for 24 h. Perform the test under these sameconditions. For rapid screening, particularly at low tempera-tures, a minimum of 4 h conditioning can be used. Note thischange when recording data. If other conditions ar

Procedure10.1 Run the tests in the same environment used to condi-tion the test specimens and test apparatus.10.2 Put the largest diameter mandrel in the horizontaloperating position in the test frame.10.3 Grasp the test specimen between the thumb and fore-finger of one hand with the

20、longest dimension between thefingers. For low temperature testing, use ordinary cotton workgloves to insulate the test specimens from the warm fingers.10.4 Lay the flat-side of the test specimen tangentially atright angles to the longitudinal axis of the test mandrel.10.5 Within 1 s, fold the test s

Repeat the test using a fresh sampleeach time until failure occurs.10.7 Now repeat the test five times

22、 using five fresh testspecimens on the smallest diameter mandrel at which failurehad not occurred. To be significant, at least four out of five testspecimens must pass. Follow this procedure with smaller orlarger diameter mandrels until four out of five test specimenspass.10.8 Record the flexibility
