2、ion, the 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.

Terminology3.1 GeneralDefinitions are in accordance with Terminol-ogy D 883 and abbreviations with Terminology D 1600, unlessotherwise indicated.4. Summary of Practice4.1 A sample of PVC resi

6、n is mixed with calcium/zincstabilizer, stearic acid, carbon black, and a plasticizer in alaboratory mixer. The dry blend is milled on a two-rolllaboratory mill.4.2 The milled sheet is press-polished and the gels countedusing a bottom-lighted viewing box and a magnifying com-parator.5. Significance

7、and Use5.1 The gel (fisheye) in PVC resins is generally recognizedas a hard particle of resin which will not fuse when the plasticmass is subjected to set conditions of hot processing. Thenumber of unfused particles present is related to the conditionsused. The presence of an excess of such particle

8、s is detrimentalto many applications.6.

Materials7.1 PVC Resin7.2 Plasticizer7.2.1 Plasticizer TypeThe plasticizer selected

15、 shall repre-sent the plasticizer type commonly used with the resin beingtested. Less solvating plasticizers will yield a higher gel count.7.2.2 Plasticizer LevelThe plasticizer usage level shallyield a test compound with approximately the same shorehardness as the compound that will be based on the

16、 resin beingtested.7.3 Stearic Acid7.4 Liquid Calcium/Zinc Stabilizer7.5 Carbon Black8. Procedure8.1 Weigh 200 g of the sample resin, 4.0 g liquid calcium/zinc stabilizer, 0.5 g stearic acid, 0.6g carbon black, andplasticizer into the stainless steel mixing bowl. Blend theingredients in the laborato

17、ry mixer at 23 6 2C (73 6 3.6F)for 3 min.NOTE 3Other mixers capable of yielding a uniform dispersion can beemployed.8.2 Set the mill temperature so the dry blend fuses andbands on the front roll of the mill within 4590 seconds andcheck to determine that the mill rolls and guides are clean.8.2.1 Set

18、the mill rolls to produce a milled sheet with athickness of 0.64 6 0.05 mm (0.025 6 0.002 in.).NOTE 4If the mill cannot be set to give the specified thickness set therolls as closely together as possible and report the sheet thickness with thedata. If the mill opening between the rolls is in excess

19、of 0.64 mm (0.025in.) the reduced working of the stock can result in an apparent higher gel(fisheye) count for the sample.8.2.2 Place a clean sheet of paper beneath the rolls. With themill running, transfer 150 g of the dry blend (produced in 8.1)to the mill and immediately start the timer. Work the

20、 stockcontinuously by making a cut from one side to within about 25mm (1 in.) of the opposite side. Use the mill knife to peel offas much of the stock as possible without completely removingit, fold the strip over and feed it back into the mill. During thefirst 0.5 min, add the initial droppings bac

21、k into the stock;discard subsequent droppings. Cut and fold the stock after 1.5min and every 0.5 min thereafter. Mill for a total of 5 6 0.1min from start of test.NOTE 5Due to differences between mills, it will be necessary toadjust the amount of dry blend used to that weight which will band on ther

22、oll and produce a 9.5-mm (0.375-in.) diameter (pencil size) rolling bank.Use a clean-up batch to determine the correct amount. Report the weightof dry blend used.8.3 Cut a 152 by 152-mm (6 by 6-in.) section from themilled stock.8.3.1 Place the section cut from the milled sheet between thetwo chrome-

23、plated ferro plates, chrome side to the specimen,then put the chrome ferro plates and the specimen between thebacking plates and insert in a press at 163 6 3C (325 6 5F).Preheat for 0.5 min with the press closed at zero pressure. Achrome-plated mold can be used instead of the plates.8.3.2 After preh

24、eating, apply ram pressure for 2 min. Useenough pressure to produce a sheet thickness of 0.5 6 0.03 mm(0.020 6 0.001 in.). At the end of the 2 min, turn the heat offand the cooling water on. Allow the press to cool to roomtemperature under pressure. Release the pressure; remove theplates from the pr

25、ess and carefully remove the pressed sheetspecimen.8.4 Place the 152 by 152-mm (6 by 6-in.) press polishedsheet on the view box and count the gel particles using themagnifying comparator. Classify the gels (clear unpigmentedareas) as follows:8.4.1 Gel Size A, gels greater than or equal to 0.5-mm(0.0

26、20-in.) diameter.8.4.2 Gel Size B, gels greater than or equal to 0.4-mm(0.015-in.) diameter.8.4.3 Gel Size C, gels greater than or equal to 0.3-mm(0.01-in.) diameter and less than 0.4-mm (0.015-in.) diameter.9. Report9.1 A Gels, count/232 cm2(count/36 in.2). B Gels, count/232cm2(count/36 in.2). C Ge

27、ls, count/232 cm2(count/36 in.2),9.2 Mill specifications if different from the specificationslisted in the procedure,9.3 Thickness of milled sheet if other than specified in 8.2.1,9.4 Amount of dry blend used if other than 150 g, and9.5 Thickness of pressed sheet if other than specified in8.3.2.10.

28、Precision and Bias310.1 Interlaboratory evaluation by five laboratories yieldedseven sets of determinations. Analysis indicated the followingvalues of precision of count at a probability level ofP = 0.95.10.1.1 Gel Size A, 61.10.1.2 Gel Size B, 65.10.1.3 Gel Size C, 612.10.2 Since no absolute method

29、 of gel count is available, nostatement of bias can be prepared.11. Keywords11.1 fisheyes; gels; poly(vinyl chloride) resin3Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
