Rubber. Determination of 5-ethylidenenorbornene (ENB) or dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) in ethylenepropylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymers
This International Standard specifies the methods to be used to determine the content of 5-ethylidenenorbornene (ENB) or dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) in ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymers in the 0,1Â % to 10Â % range.
ENB and DCPD are dienes introduced into ethylene-propylene rubbers to generate specific cure properties. Since high precision for diene content determination is important, a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) method is utilized.
NOTE The procedures for the mass fraction of ENB and the mass fraction of DCPD differ only in the location in the infrared (IR) of the peak being quantified.
