What is ISO 585 – Determination of moisture content in unplasticized cellulose acetate about?
ISO 585 is an International Standard that discusses unplasticized cellulose acetate. The main aim of ISO 585 is to provide manufacturers with best industry practices to determine the performance and quality of unplasticized cellulose acetate.
ISO 585 specifies a method for the determination of the moisture content of non-plasticized cellulose acetate.
Who is ISO 585 - Determination of moisture content in unplasticized cellulose acetate for?
ISO 585 on moisture content of unplasticized cellulose acetate is relevant to:
- Plastic industry
- Plastic product manufacturers
- Product designers
- Product development teams
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use ISO 585 - Determination of moisture content in unplasticized cellulose acetate?
Moisture content plays a significant role in determining the behaviour, quality and durability of unplasticized cellulose acetate.
The determination of moisture content may be required for the calculation of the dry mass of the cellulose acetate used in analytical methods. The method applies only to cellulose acetate with a moisture content of not more than 10 %.
The moisture content can also determine the degradation rate of the material, providing indications on the extent of durability it can impart when in use.
If you are a manufacturer of thermosetting materials and plastics, complying with the method can determine whether your products are fit for its intended use, such that incidents of product failures can be minimized.
