BS ISO 289-2:2020 pdf download – Rubber, unvulcanized — Determinations using a shearing-disc viscometer Part 2: Determination of pre-vulcanization characteristics
This document specifies a method for determining the pre-vulcanization characteristics of compounded rubber.
The pre-vulcanization characteristics determined by this method provide a means of estimating how long compounded rubber can be maintained at high temperatures and remain processable.

3.1
pre-vulcanization time
scorch time
time including warm-up time, for the viscosity to increase by a specified amount from the minimum value Note 1 to entry: It is expressed in minutes.
4 Principle
The test consists of determining how the Mooney viscosity of the rubber compound changes with running time at a specified temperature relevant to the process for which the compound is to be used. The time at which the Mooney viscosity has increased by a specified number of units is recorded.
5 Apparatus The apparatus specified in ISO 289-1 shall be used. It is permissible to use the small rotor for high- viscosity compounds.
6 Calibration schedule See Annex A.
7 Preparation of test specimen
Prepare the two discs comprising the test specimen from a sheet of rubber compound, using the procedure for preparation of test pieces described in ISO 289-1.
8 Test temperature
Choose a test temperature relevant to the process for which the compound is to be used.
9 Procedure
Use the procedure described in ISO 289-1. The pre-heating time shall be 1 min, and the test shall be continued until the viscosity reaches the specified number of units above the minimum. When a large rotor is used, the increase is specified as five units and when a small rotor is used, the increase is specified as three units. The corresponding pre-vulcanization times are designated t 5 and t 3 , respectively. A typical trace obtained with the large rotor is shown in Figure 1.
