BS EN 1242 specifies a method for the determination of the isocyanate content of adhesives, adhesive components, and their basic constituents. It is not applicable to products containing blocked isocyanate groups which can be liberated by the reagents used in this test method.
BS EN 1242on determination of the isocyanate content of adhesives is useful for:
Isocyanates are used in combination with other polymers to enhance adhesion to textile fibers.
BS EN 1242 can help in conducting tests to determine the isocyanate content in adhesives based on synthetic polymers. These test methods assess the sustainability of these adhesives in different climatic conditions.
A world-class adhesive standard, BS EN 1242 provides a step-by-step guide to ensure superior quality of adhesives by detecting isocyanate content in adhesives and offers a cost-effective, sustainable solution to the adhesive industry.
