Standard Test Method for Isocyanate Groups in Urethane Materials or Prepolymers
Standard Test Method for Isocyanate Groups in Urethane Materials or Prepolymers
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1 The percent NCO is used to establish unit ratios for stoichiometric reactions with co-reactants. SCOPE 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the isocyanate group (NCO) content of a urethane intermediate or prepolymer. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 8. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
ASTM D2572-19: Standard Test Method for Isocyanate Groups in Urethane Materials or Prepolymers provides a reliable methodology for determining the isocyanate group (NCO) content in urethane intermediates and prepolymers. Published and maintained by ASTM International, this standard is widely adopted by industries manufacturing urethane-based products for ensuring precise formulation and quality control. The method is crucial for establishing accurate stoichiometric ratios during the synthesis of polyurethane materials, enhancing the performance and consistency of final products.
