3、y and the emulsionstability characteristics of pesticide emulsifiable concentrateswhen diluted with water.1.2 Proper safety and hygiene precautions must be takenwhen working with pesticide formulations to prevent skin oreye contact, vapor inhalation, and environmental contamina-tion.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 emulsification spontaneitythe rapid formation of anemulsion in the test water from agitation provided only by thegravity addition of the product. For products of density greaterthan the water used, an excellent spon

7、taneity rating is assignedwhen the emulsion bloom (billowing) extends downward tonear the bottom of the water, with no visible oil or creamdroplets reaching the bottom of the test cylinder. For productsof density less than the water used, a rating of excellent isgiven if bloom occurs near the top of

8、 the water and no free oilis present. Spontaneity descriptions between excellent and nil(no emulsion formed, only free oil) are assigned very-good,fair, and poor on a subjective basis.3.1.2 emulsion qualitya subjective evaluation of the emul-sion appearance. A rating of excellent (homogeneous), very

9、good, good, fair, and poor (nonhomogeneous) is assigned.3.1.3 DiscussionCream and oil separation may coexist.Normally, oil is located at either the extreme top or bottom ofthe liquid with cream between it and the rest of the emulsion.On rare occasions, separation occurs at both top and bottom ofthe

10、liquid (because of partition and solubility properties) andcare must be taken to so note and record.3.1.4 Separation:3.1.4.1 separation, creama discrete, opaque layer of con-centrated emulsion occurring at either the top or the bottom ofthe liquid.3.1.4.2 separation, oila discrete layer of nonemulsi

11、fiedliquid occurring at either the top or the bottom of the liquid.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 In this test method, emulsifiable pesticide concentratesare added to water of a given hardness and at a specifiedtemperature to form an oil-in-water emulsion. Performance ofthe formulation is measured in

12、terms of emulsion spontaneity,emulsion stability under static conditions, and re-emulsification of the coalesced phase.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a guide for evaluating emul-sification characteristics of pesticide emulsifiable concentrates.It defines the stability of emulsi

13、fied particles in water.Althoughnot absolute, the test method is a measure of expected emulsionstability in agricultural application equipment.6. Apparatus6.1 Analytical Balance, accurate to 0.01 g.6.2 Burets, 50 and 100-mL capacity.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E35 o

28、 applications.8.2 Add a specified amount, in accordance with productlabel directions, of the test emulsifiable concentrate at 25C(Note 4) to each cylinder. Deliver the emulsifiable concentrateusing a pipet from a height of 50 6 5 mm above the watersurface to the center of the water surface. Delivery

29、 rate shouldbe approximately 1 mL/s. Observe and record emulsificationspontaneity.8.3 Stopper the graduated cylinders (do not grease) theninvert and right each cylinder ten times at the rate of about onecomplete cycle every 2 s. Record the initial emulsion quality.8.4 Maintain each cylinder at 25C o

30、r at a constant tem-perature (Note 4) and allow the cylinders to remain undis-turbed. At 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 24 h, observe andrecord the emulsion quality and the millilitres of cream or oilseparation, or both.8.5 After the 24-h observation, invert and right each cylin-der ten times as outl

31、ined in 8.3. Return the cylinders to the25C constant temperature device. At 30 min observe andrecord the emulsion quality and the millilitres of cream or oilseparation, or both.8.6 Discard the emulsions in a safe manner.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Due to the variability of cream separation, oil separa-

32、tion, and subjectiveness of emulsion quality for the particularpesticide, no measurement of precision and bias can be madefor this test method.10.
