Limit of volatile organic compounds content in
adhesive
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the limit requirements, test methods, inspection rules
and packaging marks of volatile organic compounds (hereinafter referred to as
VOC) content in adhesive under specified conditions.
This Standard applies to the limitation of volatile organic compounds content in
solvent-based, water-based and bulk adhesives.
This Standard does not apply to:
-- adhesives that are used as intermediates or as raw materials for
production without entering the circulation field;
-- adhesives for testing or evaluation in any research and development,
quality assurance or analytical laboratory;
-- urea formaldehyde, phenolic formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde
adhesives;
-- special functional surface treatment agent that is applied when materials
are bonded.

6.1 Sampling
Adhesive product sampling shall be carried out in accordance with GB/T 20740.
6.2 Determination of VOC content
6.2.1 The determination of VOC content in solvent-based adhesive shall be
performed according to Appendix A.
6.2.2 The VOC content in water-based adhesive shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Appendix D.
6.2.3 The VOC content in bulk adhesive shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of Appendix E.

7 Inspection rules
7.1 Inspection items
7.1.1 All requirements that are listed in this Standard are type inspection items.
7.1.2 Under normal production conditions, type inspection shall be carried out
at least once a year.
7.1.3 Type inspection shall be carried out in any of the following cases:
-- when a new product is initially finalized;
-- when the product is produced off-site;
-- when there are major changes in production formulas, processes, and key
raw material sources;
-- when production is resumed after 3 months of suspension.
7.2 Product sampling
Appendix A 
(Normative) 
Determination of VOC content in solvent-based adhesive
A.1 Overview
Place an appropriate amount of the adhesive in a blast drying oven at a
constant temperature; measure the amount of the volatiles in the adhesive
within a prescribed time. Use the gas chromatography to determine the content
of low photochemical reaction compounds; use Karl Fischer method or gas
chromatography to determine the water content in the adhesive; subtract the
water content and the acetone, methyl acetate and dimethyl carbonate amount
from the amount of the volatiles in the adhesive, to obtain the VOC content in
the adhesive.
A.2 Test steps
A.2.1 General
Perform two parallel determinations for all tests.
A.2.2 Density
Prepare the mixed sample according to the matching requirements that are
expressed by the adhesive product; after stirring well, measure the density of
the sample according to the method that is specified in GB/T 13354, at a test
temperature of (23 ± 2) °C.
A.2.3 Volatile content of the sample
A.2.3.1 One-component sample
Determine the non-volatile content of the sample according to the method that
is specified in GB/T 2793.
A.2.3.2 Multi-component sample
According to the matching requirements that is expressed by the adhesive
product, take about 2 g of the mixed sample; stir it well quickly; then, measure
the non-volatile content of the sample within 5 minutes according to the method
that is specified in GB/T 2793.
A.2.3.3 Volatile content of the sample
Calculate the volatile content of the sample according to Formula (A.1):
B.3.1.4 Dropping bottle: 30 mL.
B.3.1.5 Magnetic stirrer.
B.3.1.6 Beaker: 100 mL.
B.3.1.7 Petri dish.
B.3.2 Reagent
B.3.2.1 Distilled water: in accordance with the requirements of grade-3 water in
GB/T 6682.
B.3.2.2 Karl Fischer reagent: use appropriate reagents (for samples that do not
contain aldehyde and ketone compounds, the main components of the reagents
are iodine, sulfur dioxide, methanol, and organic bases. For samples that
contain aldehyde and ketone compounds, use special reagents for aldehyde
and ketone, whose main components are iodine, imidazole, sulfur dioxide, 2-
methoxyethanol, 2-chloroethanol and trichloromethane.
B.3.3 Test steps
B.3.3.1 Concentration calibration of Karl Fischer titrant
Add fresh Karl Fischer solvent into the titration cup of the titrator until the liquid
surface covers the electrode tip; use Karl Fischer titrant to titrate to the end
point (drift value < 10 μg/min). Use a micro-syringe to inject 10 μL of distilled
water into the titration cup; use the weight reduction method to obtain the mass
of the water (accurate to 0.1 mg); enter the mass into the titrator; use Karl
Fischer titrant to titrate to the end point; record the instrument displayed
calibration results.
Repeat the calibration until the difference between the two adjacent calibration
values is less than 0.01 mg/mL; find the average value of the two calibrations;
enter the calibration results into the titrator.
When the relative humidity of the test environment is less than 70%, it shall be
calibrated once a week; when the relative humidity is greater than 70%, it shall
be calibrated twice a week; if necessary, calibrate at any time.
B.3.3.2 Sample processing
If the viscosity of the to-be-tested sample is large and cannot be dispersed well
in Karl Fischer solvent, perform an appropriate dilution for the sampl...
