1、Designation:D315696(Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forRubberChromatographic Analysis of Antidegradants(Antioxidants,Antiozonants and Stabilizers)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3156;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in
2、 the case of revision,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.Scope1.1 This practice covers the detection and identification bythin-layer chromatography of anti
3、degradants(antioxidants,antiozonants,and stabilizers)that may be present in raw rubberor rubber products.Analysis for other types of antidegradantsis possible as long as the requirements of the practice are met.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard doe

5、:2D297 Test Methods for Rubber ProductsChemical Analy-sis3.Summary of Practice3.1 A simplified procedure(Method A,Section 13.1)basedon a single-solvent system is presented,which provides for theidentification of known materials.This may be used to checkthe presence or absence in a rubber vulcanizate
6、 or raw rubber,of an antidegradant which should be present.However,sincethe chromatograms obtained may not be absolutely specific forany given antidegradant,a more detailed scheme is given in13.2.3.2 Method B,Section 13.2,using additional solvents andsprays is included,which enables a greater degree
7、 of separationof the spots to be made and therefore may enable detection andidentification of an unknown antidegradant.3.3 Other techniques,for example:gas chromatographic(with or without treatment to obtain derivatives),spectroscopic(ultraviolet and infrared),more sophisticated thin-layer varia-tio
8、ns(two dimensional techniques),may be applied to identi-fication of spots for improved detection and identification of anunknown antidegradant.3.4 It is possible that the chromatographic pattern of oneantidegradant may overlap that of another antidegradant;therefore each laboratory must prepare its
9、own referencestandards,based on the technique chosen from this practice.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice is useful for the examination of rubbercompounds or products for the presence of chemicals thatprevent or greatly reduce degradation due to oxygen,ozone,orother agents.4.2 This practice is
10、 suitable for quality assurance,factorycontrol,and research and development applications.5.Interferences5.1 In the absence of extender oils,antidegradants areextracted from the rubber by a solvent and the evaporatedextract is applied directly to a thin-layer chromatographicplate.5.2 In the presence
11、of extender oils,the oils are removed byeither a pre-treatment of the plate,with light petroleum ether orby a column chromatographic technique.5.3 Identification of the antidegradant is made by thestandard technique of thin-layer chromatography,herein de-scribed.6.Apparatus6.1 Spreading Device,for m
