ASTM D4273
1. Scope
1.1 Test Method A-Fluorine-19 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (fluorine-19 NMR), measures the primary hydroxyl content in ethylene oxide-propylene oxide polyethers used in flexible urethane foams. It is suitable for polyethers with hydroxyl numbers of 24 to 300 and primary hydroxyl percentages of 2 to 98.
1.2 Test Method B-Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (carbon-13 NMR), measures the primary hydroxyl content of ethylene-oxide-propylene oxide polyethers used in preparing flexible foams. It is suitable for polyethers with hydroxyl numbers of 24 to 109 and primary hydroxyl contents of 10 to 90% (see Note 1).
