Analysis in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 17895 test method (determination of the in-can VOC content in water-soluble emulsion paints)
Posted Date:2025/7/1 1
8.3 Analysis
8.3.1 General
Place the vials prepared as in 8.2.3 and 8.2.4 in the headspace injector.
8.3.2 Headspace injector
The following conditions are applied for analysis using aheadscape injector:
Controlled sample temperature: 150 ℃.
Controlled transfer line and dispensing valve temperatures: 160 ℃.
Temperature hold time: 4 min.
8.3.3 Gas chromatograph
Adjust the gas-chromatographic conditions to the design of the apparatus. Two examples of gas-chromatographic conditions are given in Tables 1 and 2.
