Designation:D283495(Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forNonvolatile Matter(Total Solids)in Water-Emulsion FloorPolishes,Solvent-Based Floor Polishes,and Polymer-Emulsion Floor Polishes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2834;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript 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.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of nonvolatilematter(total solids)in a water-emulsion,organic solvent-basedliquid and paste floor polishes,and polymer-emulsion-typefloor polishes.1.2 This test method recognizes that the products maycontain material that will slowly volatilize or change chemi-cally with a resulting change in weight of the nonvolatilematter.Therefore,since drying to constant weight isimpractical,specific drying times have been selected.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Significance and Use2.1 Nonvolatile matter determination is useful as a qualitycontrol test,when used in conjunction with other tests,toassure specification compliance.3.Apparatus3.1 Flat-Bottom Dishes:3.1.1 For water-emulsion floor polishes and polymer-emulsion-type floor polishes,use aluminum dishes 1.5 cm deepand 6 cm in diameter.3.1.2 For solvent-based floor polishes,use glass dishes 4.5cm deep and 6 cm in diameter,with covers.3.2 Analytical Balance,with a sensitivity of 0.1 mg.3.2.1 Drying Oven,Convection-Type,capable of maintain-ing a temperature of 105.0 6 2.5C(221.0 6 4.5F).If manydeterminations of solvent-based floor polishes are being madeat the same time,an explosion-proof oven should be used.4.Sampling4.1 The sample shall be thoroughly representative of thematerial in question,and the test specimen shall be thoroughlyrepresentative of the sample itself.5.Procedure5.1 Bring the material to be tested to equilibrium tempera-ture at 23 6 2C(73.4 6 3.6F).5.2 Making the determination in duplicate,place approxi-mately 2 g of water-emulsion floor polish,or solvent-basedfloor polish specimen,or 1 g of polymer-emulsion-type floorpolish specimen into a tared,dried,flat-bottom aluminum dishof the previously specified size.Weigh rapidly,and place in theoven maintained at 102.5 to 107.5C.The starting time in theoven is the point at which the oven has returned to temperatureafter loading.After heating for 4 h for water-emulsion floorpolish,16 h for solvent-based floor polish,or 2 h for polymer-emulsion-type floor polishes.Cool in a desiccator.Weigh to thenearest 0.1 mg.5.3 Do not overload the oven,and provide space at leastequal to the diameter of the dishes between dishes in the oven.6.Calculation6.1 Multiply the weight of total solids by 100 and divide bythe weight of the sample to obtain the percentage of nonvolatilematter.7.Precision and Bias7.1 PrecisionDuplicate determination should not differ bymore than 0.2%.7.2 BiasThis test method has no bias because the resultsdeveloped are defined only in terms of this test method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D21 on Polishesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D21.03 on Chemical and PhysicalTesting.This test method is a consolidation of Methods D1289 and D2046.Current edition approved Nov.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 1969.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D2834 95(2008).DOI:10.1520/D2834-95R15.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 8.Keywords8.1 floor polishes;polymer-emulsion floor polishes;solvent-based floor polishes;water-emulsion floor polishesASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights,and the riskof infringement of such rights,are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years andif not revised,either reapproved or withdrawn.Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standardsand should be addressed to ASTM International Headquarters.Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of theresponsible technical committee,which you may attend.If you feel that your comments
