What is BS EN 924 - Adhesives about?
BS EN 924 specifies a method for determining the flashpoint of adhesives containing volatile organic compounds and makes allowance for deviations from standard atmospheric pressure.
BS EN 924 applies to solvent-borne and solvent-free adhesives but not to water-borne adhesives containing less than 10% of solvents.
NOTE Care should be taken in the interpretation of results obtained from solvent mixtures containing halogenated hydrocarbons as such mixtures can give anomalous results (see Annex A).
Who is BS EN 924 - Adhesives for?
BS EN 924 on Adhesives is useful for:
- Manufacturers of adhesives
- Testing laboratories
- Chemical Engineers
- Any entity using adhesives for joints
Why should you use BS EN 924 - Adhesives?
Adhesives — Solvent-borne and solvent-free adhesives — Determination of Flashpoint
Flashpoint is the minimum temperature to which a product, confined in a closed cup, is to be heated for the vapours emitted to ignite momentarily in the presence of a flame, when operating under standardized conditions.
BS EN 924 provides test methods and procedures for determining the flash points in solvent-borne and solvent free adhesives. The test method outlined in BS EN 924 helps in increasing the life of adhesives at different climatic conditions.
By the procedure specified in BS EN 924, differences between test apparatus of various standard designs are minimised by ensuring that the test is carried out only when the product under test and the air/vapour mixture above it in the test vessel are approximately in temperature equilibrium.
BS EN 924 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test joints, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more. Using BS EN 924 you can get help in determining the flash of adhesives and can manufacture superior quality adhesives.
