ISO 1408 Rubber, Determination of Carbon Black Content, Pyrolytic and Chemical Decomposition Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 1408 testing. It describes a pyrolytic method (A) and two chemical degradation methods (B and C) for determining the carbon black content of synthetic rubber and copolymers. It replaces the second edition, of which it constitutes a minor revision.

ISO 1408 Rubber, Determination of Carbon Black Content, Pyrolytic and Chemical Decomposition Methods

Method A should be used for the following polymers, but not lead and cobalt salts, graphite carbon blacks, phenolic and other resins, bitumen or cellulose, etc. pyrolysis is available.

  • Polyisoprene, natural or synthetic;
  • Polybutadiene;
  • styrene-butadiene copolymers;
  • Butyl rubber;
  • acrylate rubber;
  • Ethylene-propylene copolymer;
  • Ethylene-propylene terpolymer;

Although Method B can be used for all samples based on unsaturated rubbers except isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, it is primarily intended for use with samples that do not conform to pyrolytic method A.

Method C is potentially hazardous and should only be used for the analysis of samples based on isobutylene-isoprene copolymers and ethylene-propylene copolymers and the respective terpolymers when Method A and B fails.
