HYDROCARBON CONTENT
Hydrocarbon Content refers to the amount of polymers and other substances present in a formulation. It is calculated by subtracting the non-polymer components from 100%. Depending on the reconstructed formulation, the content can be adjusted to account for any minor abnormalities in test results due to certain polymers, not accounted for in ASTM test specifications.

The Rubber Hydrocarbon Content can be tested through a custom method. The Total Hydrocarbon Content can be measured through the Standard Test Methods for Rubber Products-Chemical Analysis, as specified in ASTM D297, Item 11. This method is used to accurately determine the amount of polymers and other substances in a formulation. It incorporates adjustments to account for any minor abnormalities in test results due to certain polymers, not accounted for in ASTM test specifications.
In addition, the Total Hydrocarbon Content can also be determined by taking into consideration sulfur containing accelerators, non-extractable resins, polymeric fiber content, sulfur levels in carbon black, or when certain polymers are ashed at high temperatures that may generate a small amount of soot, measured as carbon black. This process helps to more accurately describe the formulation as compounded and allows for a more precise measurement of Hydrocarbon Content.

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
