4 EN :2003 (E) Provläsningsexemplar / Preview Foreword This document (EN :2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 298 "Pigments and extenders", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 2

5 EN :2003 (E) 1 Scope This part of this European Standard specifies a method of determining in polyethylene (PE) the colouristic properties of a test pigment relative to a standard, and the ease of dispersion DH PE of pigments from the differences in colour strength on dispersing colouring materials under various conditions. Method A is appropriate for use with organic powder pigments and carbon black pigments in powder form, many of which are subject to compaction (reagglomeration under pressure), for inorganic pigments in powder form and for pigment preparations in powder or flake form. Method B is appropriate for testing pigments and pigment preparations in granular form and for inorganic pigments in any form. The ease of dispersion determined in this way is valid only for the dispersion equipment, dispersion conditions and dispersion medium being used. The use of test conditions differing from those specified may give different results; this applies both to the absolute magnitude and to the relation between values of the ease of dispersion of various pigments. The subscript DH PE is therefore used to designate the value obtained as specified in this part of this European Standard. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN , Colouring materials in plastics - Determination of colour stability to heat during processing of colouring materials in plastics - Part 1: General introduction. EN ISO :1995, General method of tests for pigments and extenders - Part 24: Determination of relative tinting strength of coloured pigments and relative scattering power of white pigments - Photometric methods (ISO :1985). EN ISO 15528, Paints, varnishes and raw materials for paints and varnishes - Sampling (ISO 15528:2000). ISO :1984, Paints and varnishes Colorimetry - Part 2: Colour measurement. 3 Term and definition For the purposes of this European Standard the following term and definition applies. 3.1 ease of dispersion [DH PE ] measure of the rate at which or the degree to which a pigment or extender achieves a given level of dispersion when dispersed in a plastics material. The DH PE is derived from the increase in colour strength achieved by two-roll milling as specified in 8.2, relative to the colour strength achieved as specified in Principle Using a two-roll mill, the pigment under test is dispersed at an appropriate temperature in the polymer. The cooled milled sheet obtained in this way is then subjected to the higher shearing forces resulting from two-roll milling at a narrower gap width. The resulting increase in colour strength (see EN ) is a measure of the ease of dispersion DH PE. 3

6 EN :2003 (E) Provläsningsexemplar / Preview 5 Materials 5.1 Materials for method A Test medium Polyethylene, in powder or flake form; of a type and grade to be agreed between the interested parties. NOTE Where HDPE is used, a phenolic antioxidant can be used to facilitate processing Titanium dioxide pigment Easily dispersing powder grade of a type recommended for use in polyethylene. 5.2 Materials for method B Test medium Polyethylene, in granular form; of a type and grade to be agreed between the interested parties. NOTE Where HDPE is used, a phenolic antioxidant can be used to facilitate processing Titanium dioxide pigment As in or as a well dispersed polyethylene masterbatch. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Two-roll mill Equipped with heating facilities and having rollers adjustable for spacing. The roll diameter shall be between 80 mm and 200 mm, and the ratio of the speeds of rotation of the two rollers shall be between 1:1,1 and 1:1,2. NOTE It has been found that comparable results on different two-roll mills can be obtained under the following conditions ratio of roller diameters of the two machines: between 1:1 and 1:1,5; ratio of peripheral speeds: between 1:1 and 1:1,1; H k (bank) to H s (gap width) should be H k /H s 20. If smaller roller sets are used (roller diameter e.g. 80 mm), the settings of the thickness of the milled sheet from 0,4 mm to 0,5 mm with the recommended conditions of similarity can lead to difficulties with regard to the requirement for a rolling bank. 6.2 Plate press Provided with heating facilities and, advantageously, also with cooling facilities. 6.3 Photometer 7 Sampling Representative samples of the colouring materials to be tested shall be taken as described in EN ISO
