ASTM D7252 Introduction
ASTM D7252 is used to characterize isocyanates in polyurethane raw materials. Monomeric isomers and total monomer in crude or modified isocyanates are determined in terms of percent by weight of the sample used. The test method is applicable to MDI (methylene di(phenylisocyanate) and PMDI (polymeric methylene phenylisocyanate).
ASTM D7252 Test Method
Test procedure
Test sample is treated with methanol to derivatize the urethanes to their methyl derivatives, that is a mixture of methyl urethane isomers. This mixture is separated using normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain individual components that are later quantified using appropriate reference standards.
HPLC conditions
Pump flow rate = 1.5 mL/min. Eluent A (hexane) = 90 %, eluent B (1:1 by volume ethanol:methanol) = 10 %. Detector is set at wavelength = 235 nm, output range = 2.000, injection volume = 2 μL and column temperature = 30°C.
D7252 Test Standard Resultsand Interpretation
The weight percentage of each isomer and Monomer is calculated and reported to the nearest 0.1 percent. The values stated in SI units.
