1、Designation: F 2250 03 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Practice forEvaluation of Chemical Resistance of Printed Inks andCoatings on Flexible Packaging Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2250; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adopti

2、on or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes the procedure for evaluating theability of an ink

3、, overprint varnish or coating to withstandchemical exposure. Typical chemicals, which may come incontact with the package, include water, alcohol, acid, etc. Thespecific chemical and method of choice as well as determina-tion of measurement outcome are left to users to agree upon injoint discussion

4、. Suggestions for ways to measure and collectinformation are offered in the various methods listed in thispractice.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety c

5、oncerns, 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.

6、tics3D 4332 Practice for Conditioning Containers, Packages, orPackaging Components for Testing3. Significance and Use3.1 Packaging materials may be exposed to chemicals suchas water, alcohol, acid, etc. during their life cycle. If it isanticipated that the packaging material will be exposed to achem

7、ical, it is important that the ink or coating, or both, notdegrade, soften, or dissolve as a result of that contact.3.2 The testing included in this practice is applicable tosurface printed and coated materials designed to be resistant toa specific chemical.3.3 The chemicals to be tested should be c

8、ompatible with(that is, not damage or degrade) the substrate being printed orcoated, or both.3.4 There are four separate methods detailed in this practice.The methods represent increasing degrees of severity fromMethod A to Method D. Selection of method should be basedon the type of exposure anticip

9、ated. For example, the pouringmethod (MethodA) is typically used where incidental exposureis anticipated, such as a spill or splash of chemical on thematerial surface. Method B or C is typically used whenchemical resistance is desired depending on the level ofexposure (B) and abrasion (C) anticipate

10、d. Method D wouldrepresent continual contact between the chemical and materialand would need to be chemical-proof, (for example, if thepackage were to be submerged in the chemical and exposed toabrasion over a period of time.)3.5 This practice does not address acceptability criteria.These need to be

11、 jointly determined by the user and producerof the product, based on the type of exposure that is antici-pated.4. Apparatus4.1 Method A Apparatus:4.1.1 Inclined plane capable of holding material at approxi-mately a 45-degree angle, allowing chemical to be tested toflow easily downward.4.1.2 Small po

Caution should be taken wheneliminating samples with defects as this can bias results.5.2 See Practice D 1898 for guidance on standard samplingpractices.6. Conditioning6.1 Conditioning o

17、f the samples will depend on the materialunder evaluation. If conditioning before testing is appropriate,normal, and desirable, then condition the test specimens at 236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 5% RH for not less than 24 hprior to test.6.2 Before testing catalyzed or cured inks or coatings,ensure t

18、hat the samples have been exposed to the appropriateconditions for sufficient time to allow complete cure.6.3 See Practice D 4332 for guidance on conditioning prac-tices.7. Procedure7.1 Method APouring Method:7.1.1 Cut sample to be tested. Cut a sample of the materialin the area of interest, approxi

19、mately 13 by 13 cm or 5 by 5 in.To test larger printed or coated areas, or both, multiple samplesmay need to be cut.7.1.2 Attach sample to inclined plane (approximate 45-degree angle) Position so that the applied chemical does notpool on the test area. When attaching the sample take care thatit is s

20、mooth without wrinkles, creases, or folds. The surface tobe evaluated (the printed or coated side, or both) should befacing up.7.1.3 Pour or squirt the chemical along the elevated edge ofsample, so that it covers and runs over the entire area of thesample.7.1.4 Examine the printed or coated sample,

21、or both, for anyrunning, smearing, or discoloration. Also look at the runoffpooled chemical for any discoloration.7.1.5 Record results in user specified format. For example,results may be recorded as pass (no change)/fail or as a degreeor percentage of damage.7.2 Method BTimed Exposure Method:7.2.1

22、Cut sample to be tested. Cut a sample of the materialin the area of interest, approximately 13 by 13 cm or 5 by 5 in.To test larger printed or coated areas, or both, multiple samplesmay need to be cut.7.2.2 Lay the sample on a flat surface taking care that it issmooth without wrinkles, creases, or f

23、olds. The surface to beevaluated (the printed or coated side) should be facing up.7.2.3 Pour or squirt chemical evenly over area to be tested.7.2.4 Place watch glass over wet sample and set timingdevice. A one minute exposure may be used for this method.NOTE 1The time should be based on the anticipa

24、ted length ofexposure or, if ranking materials, then multiple time intervals should beused.7.2.5 When specified time has elapsed, carefully removeglass and examine sample for any running, smearing ordiscoloration.7.2.6 Blot gently with absorbent material. Examine absor-bent wipe for any transfer of

25、ink or coating and the sample forany smearing or discoloration.7.2.7 Record results in user specified format. For example,results may be recorded as pass (no change)/fail or as a degreeor percentage of damage.7.3 Method CWiping Method:7.3.1 Cut a sample of the material in the area of interest,approx

26、imately 13 by 13 cm or 5 by 5 in. To test larger printedor coated areas, or both, multiple samples may need to be cut.7.3.2 Lay the sample on a flat surface taking care that it issmooth without wrinkles, creases, or folds. The surface to beevaluated (the printed or coated side) should be facing up.7

27、.3.3 Saturate a swab with chemical to be used for test.7.3.4 Place the chemical-soaked swab on the sample and rubin a back-and-forth motion with a light pressure. Each strokeshould be approximately 3 in.NOTE 2Significant pressure variation may affect test results.7.3.5 For reporting purposes, users

28、may choose to count thenumber of strokes that it takes for the ink/coating to begin tosmear, lighten or transfer to the swab. In this case, a back-and-forth motion is counted as two strokes.7.3.6 When using this method to rank materials, the reportmay log the number of strokes achieved before failur

29、e. Whenperforming routine Q.A. testing, the product specification mayrequire the material to survive a minimum number, such as 10strokes. The number of strokes may vary depending on specificapplications and agreed upon specifications. Results may alsobe reported as Pass/Fail.7.4 Method DWipe Method

30、after Timed Exposure:7.4.1 Cut a sample of the material in the area of interest,approximately 13 by 13 cm or 5 by 5 in. To test larger printedor coated areas, or both, multiple samples may need to be cut.7.4.2 Lay the sample on a flat surface taking care that it issmooth without wrinkles, creases, o

31、r folds. The surface to beevaluated (the printed or coated side) should be facing up.7.4.3 Pour or squirt chemical evenly over area to be tested.7.4.4 Place watch glass over wet sample and set timingdevice. Five minutes is a typical time exposure for this method.NOTE 3The time should be based on the

32、 anticipated length ofexposure or, if ranking materials, then multiple time intervals should beused.7.4.5 When specified time has elapsed, carefully removeglass and examine sample for any running, smearing ordiscoloration.7.4.6 Blot gently with wipe. Examine wipe for any transferof ink or coating.7.

33、4.7 Place a swab or wipe on the sample and rub in aback-and-forth motion with a light pressure. Each strokeshould be approximately 3 in.NOTE 4Significant pressure variation may affect test results.F 2250 03 (2008)27.4.8 For reporting purposes, users may choose to count thenumber of strokes that it t

34、akes for the ink/coating to begin tosmear, lighten or transfer to the swab or wipe. In this case, aback-and-forth motion is counted as two strokes.7.4.9 When using this method to rank materials, the reportmay log the number of strokes achieved before failure. Whenperforming routine Q.A. testing, the

35、 product specification mayrequire the material to survive a minimum of strokes. Again,these approaches may be recorded as Pass/Fail.8.
