1.1This test method covers a practical test for the solubility of commercial chemicals used in rubber products.

1.2It is not a true measure of solubility, since equilibrium is not approached from both sides, that is, higher temperature and lower temperature.

1.3The test method indicates the total solubility, under the conditions of the test, of all components in the presence of each other and in the proportions present in the sample.

1.4This test method does not measure the solubility of a rubber chemical in rubber.

1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.6This standard does not purport to address 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.
