Описание (английский):

This part of ISO 3451 specifies methods for determination of the ash of poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate) and copolymers of the two, both filled and unfilled. The general procedures given in ISO 3451-1 are followed. For unfilled materials method A or method C of ISO 3451-1:1997 is used. For filled and glass-fibre reinforced materials method A of ISO 3451-1:1997 is used. For glass-fibre filled materials, containing flame retardant, antimony trioxide, and/or other, volatilize additives, for instance pigment zinc sulfide, a modification is incorporated to remove these as volatile bromine component(s).

Overview

ISO 3451-2:1998 specifies standardized methods for the determination of ash content in poly(alkylene terephthalate) materials, including poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), and their copolymers. This international standard is published by ISO and applies to both filled and unfilled plastics. It complements the general procedures outlined in ISO 3451-1 by adapting the approach specifically for poly(alkylene terephthalate) materials, ensuring accuracy and repeatability when analyzing ash content in thermoplastic polymers.

Ash content analysis is critical in evaluating the quality, composition, and performance characteristics of polymeric materials, especially when additives like glass fibres or flame retardants are involved. ISO 3451-2 provides detailed procedures for calcination and residue analysis, enabling manufacturers, laboratories, and quality control professionals to obtain reliable results.

Key Topics

Scope and Material Types Covers unfilled and filled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), and related copolymers. Both glass-fibre reinforced and flame-retarded compounds are included.

Analytical Methods

Method A (direct calcination) and Method C (calcination after mineralization with sulfuric acid) as described in ISO 3451-1:1997.
Use of decabromobiphenyl (DBB) for modified ash determination in materials containing flame retardants like antimony trioxide and brominated additives.

Sample Preparation and Apparatus Fragments, grains, or powders are dried and prepared with precise mass measurement to ensure consistency. Specified apparatus includes silica, porcelain, or platinum crucibles, and a muffle furnace with controlled temperatures between 600 °C - 850 °C.

Calcination Procedures Different temperature regimens and sample treatments apply depending on filler type and presence of volatile additives. For glass fibre-reinforced materials with flame retardants, special handling with DBB minimizes inaccuracies due to volatile halogenated components.

Result Expression Ash content is expressed as a mass percentage, calculated from the sample mass and the residual ash after combustion. Results are averaged and reported with an accuracy of 0.1%.

Fidelity and Accuracy Repeatability and reproducibility data are provided, based on inter-laboratory studies of PET materials with common fillers like SiO2 and TiO2. The standard cautions on the need for further data on methods involving DBB and glass fibre reinforcement.

Safety Notes Use of chemicals such as decabromobiphenyl and sulfuric acid requires adherence to strict safety protocols due to potential release of harmful compounds such as dioxins.

Applications

ISO 3451-2 is essential for:

Quality control in plastics manufacturing: Accurate ash content determination helps verify filler and additive levels in poly(alkylene terephthalate) materials.

Material certification: Ensures conformity to specifications for automotive, electronics, and industrial components made from PET, PBT, and copolymers.

Research and development: Helps assess the effects of fillers, flame retardants, and processing conditions on the composition and performance of polymers.

Regulatory compliance: Provides validated procedures supporting compliance with chemical and material standards globally.

Failure analysis: Determines contaminant or filler concentrations during product testing or after field returns.

Related Standards

ISO 3451-1:1997 – Plastics – Determination of ash – Part 1: General methods. Provides foundational procedures referenced throughout ISO 3451-2.

ISO 3451-3 to ISO 3451-5 – Further parts covering ash determination for other plastics like cellulose acetate, polyamides, and PVC.

Other ISO standards on plastics testing, such as ISO 527 (tensile properties) and ISO 1133 (melt flow rate), which complement ash content analysis in comprehensive polymer characterization.

By following ISO 3451-2:1998, stakeholders in the plastics industry can ensure consistent, validated, and internationally recognized methods for accurately determining ash contents in poly(alkylene terephthalate) materials-vital for product quality, safety, and performance assurance.
