ASTM D4273 : 05

Standard Test Methods for Polyurethane Raw Materials Determination of Primary Hydroxyl Content of Polyether Polyols

Standard Details

1.1 Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy(carbon-13 NMR), measures the primary hydroxyl content of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide polyethers used in preparing flexible foams. It is best suited for polyethers with primary hydroxyl contents of 10 to 90 %.
