ASTM D1489-09(2016)

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: D1489 − 09 D1489 − 09 (Reapproved 2016)
Standard Test Method for
Nonvolatile Content of Aqueous Adhesives
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1489; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
This test method replaces Method 4021 of Federal Test Method Standard No. 175a.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the nonvolatile content of aqueous adhesives, such as dextrin, starch, casein,
and animal gelatin.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents
2.1 ASTM Standards:
D907 Terminology of Adhesives
3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—Many terms in this test method are defined in Terminology D907.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 Adhesive cost is often related to the solids level (nonvolatile content).
4.2 This test method can be used to compare the nonvolatile content of various adhesives for adhesive selection and product
uniformity.
4.3 This test method is suitable for quality control and research purposes.
5. Apparatus and Materials
5.1 Analytical Balance, for weighing of specimen, accurate to 60.001 g.
5.2 Laboratory Balance, for weighing of sample, accurate to 60.01 g.
5.3 Constant-Temperature Oven, capable of maintaining a temperature of 105 6 1°C (221 6 2°F).
5.4 Glass Jar of sufficient size, 1 L or more, to store sample of adhesive prior to testing. The jar shall be such that it can be
sealed to prevent the loss of volatile content during the storage period.
5.5 Beaker—of 100 mL capacity.
5.6 Weighing Bottles—wide-mouth cylindrical glass weighing bottles, of flat form, about 30 mm in height and 50 mm in
diameter, having interchangeable ground-in glass caps.
5.7 Volumetric Flasks, of 200-mL capacity, with glass stoppers.
5.8 Volumetric Pipet, of 10-mL capacity.
5.9 Desiccator, with drying agent and tray.
This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D14 on Adhesives and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D14.10 on Working Properties.

5.10 Silica Sand.
5.11 Water, Hot—distilled water heated to at least 80°C.
5.12 Hot Plate, used to heat the water.
6. Sampling
6.1 The sample of the adhesive shall be representative of the lot being evaluated. The quantity shall be at least 1.0 L aliquot
consisting of a composite taken, when possible, from three or more separate containers chosen at random. Thoroughly mix the
sample to uniform consistency. Immediately place the composite sample in an airtight glass jar until tested.
7. Procedure
7.1 Make sure that the sample in the glass jar is of uniform consistency
