Rubber — Analysis by pyrolytic gas-chromatographic methods — Part 2: Determination of styrene/butadiene/isoprene ratio ISO 7270-2:2024

Publication date:   May 24, 2024

Scope

This document specifies a pyrolytic gas-chromatographic method for the determination of the styrene/butadiene/isoprene ratio in copolymers, or blends of homopolymers and/or copolymers, in raw rubbers or in unvulcanized or vulcanized compounds. It is applicable to copolymers/terpolymers consisting of styrene, butadiene and isoprene, and blends of these polymers.
NOTE 1        The use of this document pre-supposes sufficient working knowledge of the principles and techniques of gas chromatography for the analyst to perform the operations described and interpret the results correctly.
NOTE 2        The styrene/butadiene/isoprene ratio determined by this test method is affected by the presence of resin and by a high level of sulfur.
