What is BS EN 1240 – Adhesives hydroxyl value/content about?
BS EN 1240 focuses on the properties of adhesives, adhesive components, and related products. BS EN 1240 specifies a method to determine the hydroxyl value and/or the hydroxyl content of adhesives, adhesive components, their basic constituents and related products.
BS EN 1240 can also be used to determine the hydroxyl value and/or the hydroxyl content of surface protection systems of concrete.
Who is BS EN 1240 - Adhesives hydroxyl value/content for?
BS EN 1240 on adhesives hydroxyl value/content is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of adhesives
- The adhesives and sealants industry
- Laboratories for adhesive testing
- Quality control personnel
- Research and development team
Why should you use BS EN 1240 - Adhesives hydroxyl value/content?
The hydroxyl value is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide necessary to neutralize the acetic acid which will combine by acetylation with 1 g of the product under test. hydroxyl content defines mass fraction in the percentage of hydroxyl groups (-OH) contained in the product under test.
BS EN 1240 guides you with a method to determine the hydroxyl value and hydroxyl content of adhesives and related products. The analytical method used to determine hydroxyl value traditionally involves Acetylation of the hydroxyl groups which is carried out by acetic anhydride on a pyridine solution of the product under test.
BS EN 1240 guidelines help you improve bond strength and durability of structural adhesives, adhesive components, their basic constituents and related products.
