What is PD CEN/TS 17307 - Elastomers identification about?
PD CEN/TS 17307 is an international standard used for Material derived from End-of-Life tyres that specifies the test methods which helps in classifying the Elastomers in the end of life tyres.
PD CEN/TS 17307 specifies a method for the identification of the elastomers in granulates or powder derived from End-of-Life Tyres. The method specified is a qualitative method only.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17307 - Elastomers identification for ?
PD CEN/TS 17307 on Material derived from End-of-Life tyres is useful for:
Manufacturers of automobile
Recycling units
Scientific laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17307 - Elastomers identification ?
Elastomers are polymers that are having a viscosity as well as elasticity and therefore are known as viscoelasticity.
PD CEN/TS 17307 is useful in homogenizing granules or powder and then extracting and subjecting to pyrolysis at elevated temperatures. The mass-spectrometric detector helps in improving the sensitivity and reliability of identified elastomers.
PD CEN/TS 17307 specifies the test methods, test procedures along with the apparatus that is useful in conducting the tests. This test method ensures the working of the principles and techniques of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
