What is ISO 17190-2 about?
ISO 17190-2 is one of a series of documents for Urine-absorbing aids for incontinence that provides a test method for determining the sum of residual monomeric sodium acrylate
and acrylic acid present in polyacrylate superabsorbent powders as acrylic acid.
Residual monomeric sodium acrylate and acrylic acid are extracted from the polyacrylate
superabsorbent powders and the amount are determined as residual acrylate monomer by HPLC. The method described here uses a simple 1 g in 200 ml dilution factor. However, it is equally valid to use different masses and volumes if the mass: volume dilution ratio is the same and suitable experimental validation is performed.
Who is ISO 17190-2 for?
ISO 17190-2 on urine-absorbing aids for incontinence is useful for-
- Medical laboratories
- Manufacturers of urine-absorbing aids for incontinence
- Medical laboratories
Why should you use ISO 17190-2?
It is very essential to manage urinary incontinence. You can decide which product for urinary incontinence to choose based on: comfort, cost, durability, ease of use. Superabsorbent powders are used for making these urine-absorbing aids. Residual monomeric sodium acrylate and acrylic acid are extracted from the polyacrylate superabsorbent powders and the amount is determined as residual acrylate monomer by HPLC.
The number of residual monomers is a sum of residual monomeric sodium acrylate and acrylic acid.
ISO 17190-2 provides you guidance on apparatus, calibrations, sampling, procedures, and calculation which help you to determine the sum of residual monomeric sodium acrylate and acrylic acid present in polyacrylate superabsorbent powders as acrylic acid.
ISO 17190-2 helps you manufacture high quality and durable urine-absorbing aids for incontinence.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 17190-2:2021 supersedes ISO 17190-2:2021, which has been withdrawn. BS ISO 17190-2:2021 has some technical changes with respect to ISO 17190-2:2021, these include:
