BS EN 1238:2011EN 1238:2011 (E) 4 Introduction Thermoplastic adhesives do not change from the solid to the liquid state at a fixed temperature, but their vi

19、scosity decreases progressively as the temperature rises. For this reason, the determination of the softening point shall be carried out by defined methods to obtain comparable results. BS EN 1238:2011EN 1238:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the s

20、oftening point of hot-melt adhesives. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendment

21、s) applies.

22、nd the following apply. 3.1 softening point temperature at which the adhesive under test attains a degree of softness under the specified conditions 4 Principle A steel ball of a specified mass is placed on a sample of adhesive contained on a metal ring of specified dimensions. The apparatus is heat

23、ed at a constant defined rate. The temperature at which the sample is sufficiently soft to allow the ball to pass through the ring by a fixed distance is taken as the “softening point“. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Ball, two steel balls, (9,53 0,02) mm in diameter, each having a mass of (3,50 0,05) g. 5.2 Ring,

24、tapered brass ring to the dimensions of Figure 1. NOTE As alternative the following can be used: a) shouldered brass ring to the dimensions of Figure 2; b) a straight-sided cylindrical ring with the following: 1) interior diameter (15,9 0,1) mm; 2) depth (6,4 0,1) mm. BS EN 1238:2011EN 1238:2011 (E)

25、 6 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Tapered brass ring Dimensions in millimetres Figure 2 Shouldered brass ring To ensure the correct positions of the ring in its support, the exterior diameter shall be reduced at the lower part to (19,0 0,1) mm for a depth of 2 mm. If a shouldered or straight-sid

26、ed ring is used, this shall be noted in the test report. 5.3 Guide, to center the ball, the arrangement in Figure 3 is recommended to be used.

27、The distance between the two supports plates is (25 1) mm. The same distance separates the ring holder from the bottom plate.

28、. 5.6 Bath, of heat resistant glass, to the dimensions of Figure 5, with the rings supported horizontally as shown. The bottom of the bulb of the thermometer shall be level with the bottom of the rings and within 10 mm of them, but not touching them. 5.7 Stirrer, to ensure uniform heat distribution

29、throughout the bath a mechanical stirrer which operates smoothly shall be used. It shall be so placed that the samples are not disturbed when it is in operation. 5.8 Bath liquid Water may be used to 80 C. Glycerol may be used up to 200 C. Above 200 C a liquid heat-transfer medium shall be chosen whi

30、ch is stable at the temperatures likely to be used; mineral or silicone oils are suitable. The liquid used shall not affect the specimen at the test temperature. NOTE Automatic apparatus for measuring the softening point of thermoplastics adhesives is commercially available. Differences in the softe

31、ning point of some hot melt adhesives (e.g. poly(ethylene-vinylacetate) based adhesives) measured by automatic or manual equipment can occur. In such case comparative tests should be carried out to determine whether it is necessary to apply a correction factor. 6 Sampling A significant sample of the

32、 adhesive shall be taken in accordance with EN ISO 15605 and prepared for testing as described in EN 1067. 7 Preparation of sample 7.1 Preparation of test specimens in duplicate Heat a portion of the sample in air or a liquid bath, to obtain an approximate value of the softening point. When this is

33、noted continue until the temperature of the sample is between 25 C and 50 C above the softening point noted. Stir the sample during heating until it is completely fluid, homogeneous, and free from air bubbles. If necessary, pour the fluid sample through a 315 m sieve, to remove solid impurities. Hea

34、t the ring to the same temperature as the sample under test on a metal, porcelain or heat resistant glass plate, coating lightly with oil or silicone grease to prevent adhesive sticking. Fill the ring with an adequate amount of fluid adhesive, so that a slight excess remains after cooling. Cool in a

35、ir for 30 min removing excess adhesive with a heated knife. 7.2 For heat sensitive adhesives Carry out the above method in an inert atmosphere, or by another method agreed by the parties concerned. NOTE If guides (see Figure 3) are not being used, a mark for the balls should be made in the middle of

36、 the prepared specimens, just deep enough to ensure that they cannot move and are centred in the rings.

38、ure in a thermostat bath for at least 15 min. Using forceps, place the balls, previously kept at the same temperature in the same thermostat, into the guides. b) Heat the apparatus and stir the liquid so that the temperature rises at a uniform rate of (5 1) C/min until the balls fall through the rin

39、gs. Do not average the rate of temperature rise over the test period. Reject any determination in which the rate of temperature rise does not fall within the specified limits after the first 3 min. Record for each ring and ball the temperature shown by the thermometer at the instant the sample surro

Maintain the bath at 35 C for 15 min and using forceps, place the balls, previously brought to 35 C, in each ball guide.

41、Follow the procedure of 8.2, b). 9 Expression of results As softening point report the mean of the temperatures recorded in duplicate determinations, without correction of the emergent stem of the thermometer, rounded to the nearest 0,5 C if the recorded temperature is 100 C or below; 1 C if the rec
