Oil & Solvent Content of Petroleum Wax

ASTM D 721, ASTM D 3235, ISO 2908 (obs.), DIN 51571-2 (obs.), FTM 791-5431, IP 158, JIS K2235

Product group(s): User group(s): Scope:

Grease, Wax Lubricating Grease, Polishes, Wax For the determination of oil or solvent extractables in petroleum waxes having a congealing point of 30 C (86 F) or higher (determined with ASTM D 938 / IP 76 / ISO 2207) and containing not more than 15% of oil.

The oil or solvent content of a wax may have significant effects on several of its properties, such as strength, hardness, flexibility, scuff resistance, coefficient of friction, coefficient of expansion, melting point, and oil straining. The importance of these effects may be dependent upon the ultimate use of the wax.

The sample is dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone, the solution cooled to -32C (-25F) to precipitate the wax, and filtered. The oil content of the filtrate is determined by evaporating the methyl ethyl ketone and weighing the residue.
