BS ISO 24076:2021 pdf download – Plastics — Polypropylene (PP) — Determination of isotactic index by low-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry This document specifies a relative method for the determination of polypropylene (PP) isotactic index by low-resolution pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (LR-NMR). This method enables the identification and coding of types H propylene (PP-H) plastics according to ISO 19069-1. This method is suitable for base polymers and is not applicable for mixtures. NOTE The direct method for the determination of polypropylene isotactic index is specified in ISO 9113. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

After electromagnetic equilibration in the static magnetic field of the NMR spectrometer and application of a 90° radio frequency pulse, the magnetization decay signal curve from the protons of the sample is recorded. The signal of the un-extractable matter in the sample drops much faster than that of extractable matter. In the signal curve, initial signal corresponds to the whole sample including the un-extractable and the extractable matter, and later slower dropping signal corresponds to the extractable matter in the sample. So, the magnetization decay signal and the isotactic index of the sample are related. 7.1.2 LR-NMR measurement procedure of reference samples 7.1.2.1 Put the reference sample into a sample tube (5.2), with a depth of between 30 mm and 50 mm. NOTE The sample amount can be specified by the spectrometer manufacturer which matches to the probe height. 7.1.2.2 Put the tube in thermostatic apparatus (5.4) for a minimum of 30 min to achieve temperature equilibration. 7.1.2.3 Transfer the tube to LR-NMR probe (5.1) within 15 s. Hold for 15 min to...
