ISO 18473-1-2015 Functional pigments and fillers for special purposes – Part 1: nano-sized calcium carbonate for sealant applications

preface
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the global federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The development of international standards is usually carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member group interested in a subject on which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on the Committee. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations in liaison with ISO are also involved in this work. ISO works closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrical standardization.

Part 1 of the ISO/IEC Directive describes the procedures used to develop this document and for further maintenance. In particular, note the different approval standards required for different types of ISO documents. This document has been drafted in accordance with the editorial rules in Part 2 of the ISO/IEC Directive (see iso.org/directives).

Please note that some elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO is not responsible for identifying any or all such patents. Details of any patent rights identified during the documentation development process will be included in the introduction and/or list of ISO patent claims received (see iso.org/patents).

ISO 18473-1-2015 Functional pigments and fillers for special purposes – Part 1: nano-sized calcium carbonate for sealant applications

introduce
Sealants are widely used to prevent air, gas or liquid infiltration into many industries, including construction, automobiles and electronics. Increments are an important component of sealant formulations that reduce cost and improve rheological and mechanical properties. The content of increment agent varies widely and can be as high as 50% (mass fraction). A common additive in sealants is calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) because it is readily available in a variety of sizes and can be used as a rheological modifier, enhancer, and sunblock. Commercial calcium carbonate can be divided into heavy calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), with three crystal structures of calcite, aragonite and spheroid aragonite. It exists in various forms, such as cubic, spherical, spindle, fibrous and acicular. Calcium carbonate with calcite crystal structure and cubic or spherical form is most widely used in sealant applications.

Nanoscale calcium carbonate (NCC) provides improved performance and additional features for a variety of sealants, including thixotropy, flame retardant, and improved durability and recyclability, and has become a major ingredient in sealant formulations. Nanoscale calcium carbonate in powder form is now easy to manufacture, mainly through the precipitation route to control size and form. The importance of surface treatment for the use of NCC in sealants cannot be overstated. Natural calcium carbonate 3 is hydrophilic. As a result, it tends to clump in organic polymers and plasticizers. NCCS, in particular, tend to aggregate more easily due to their small size and large surface area. NCCS are surface treated to give them hydrophobicity and improve their dispersion in hydrophobic systems. The surface treatment also improves the compatibility of the polymer matrix, thus improving the interface adhesion between the increment agent and the polymer.

It was found that the particle size, specific surface area, mass fraction, morphology, pH value, magnesium content, oil absorption value, water content and other characteristics of the supplied nano-sized calcium carbonate affected the performance of the sealant mixed with these materials. Nanoparticles. The characteristics of NCCS that need to be detailed in relation to sealant performance arise from the following facts. First, agreements between customers and suppliers do not always cover all material characteristics that affect sealant performance and/or machinability, or they are interpreted differently by customers and suppliers. Second, nanomaterials are relatively new. Material properties may depend on the technique used to measure them. So,

This part of ISO 18473 lists the properties, measurements and characteristics of nanoscale calcium carbonate and is intended to aid its acceptance and application in sealants.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 18473, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1 Nanoscale

Sizes range from approximately 1 nm to 100 nm

Entry Note 1: Attributes that are not extrapolated from a larger size are usually (but not limited to) displayed within this size range. For such attributes, the size limit is considered to be approximate.

Entry Note 2: The lower limit in this definition (approximately 1 nm) was introduced to avoid the designation of individual and small atomic groups as nanoobjects or nanostructured elements, which may imply that there is no lower limit.

3.2 Precipitate calcium carbonate

A synthetic calcium carbonate composed of triangular crystals (e.g., calcite) or diamond-shaped biconical crystals (e.g., aragonite)
