SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3642
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the softening point of certain alkali-soluble resins having uniform plastic flow characteristics as the melting point is approached.
1.2 The resin manufacturer should specify whether or not this test method may be used for his product(s).
1.3 This test method is not suitable for styrene-maleic anhydride resins.
Note 1-For testing rosin and other resins, see Test Method E28 . For testing asphalts, tars, and pitches, see Test Method D2398.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use.
