Binders for paints and varnishes — Determination of softening point — Ring-and-ball method
Specifies a method of test for resins (including rosin) and similar materials by means of the ring-and-ball apparatus. In general, with materials of this type, softening does not take place at a definite temperature. As the temperature rises, these materials gradually and imperceptibly change from brittle or exceedingly thick and slow-flowing materials to softer and less viscous liquids. For this…
Volatile organic liquids — Determination of boiling range of organic solvents used as raw materials
This method is applicable to organic liquids that boil between 30 and 300 C at normal pressure, and that are chemically stable and do not corrode the apparatus during the distillation such as hydrocarbons, esters, alcohols, ketones, ethers and similar products. The principle consists in distillation of a 100 ml test portion under prescribed conditions, systematic observation of thermometer…
