1、Designation:D257297(Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forIsocyanate Groups in Urethane Materials or Prepolymers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2572;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination
3、of the isocya-nate group(NCO)content of a urethane intermediate orprepolymer.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its u
4、se.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.For specific hazardstatements,see Section 8.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D841 Specification for Nitration
5、 Grade Toluene3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The urethane prepolymer is allowed to react with anexcess of di-n-butylamine in toluene(Note 1).After thereaction is complete,the excess of di-n-butylamine is deter-mined by back titration with standard hydrochloric acid.NOTE1Solvents other than toluene may
