JHC Phenolic Resin Casework Chemical Resistance Test Procedure

The sample panel was placed on a flat surface, cleaned with soap and water andblotted dry. The panel was then conditioned for 48 hours at 73° F+/- 3°F and50%+/- 5%relative humidity. The Phenolic resin sample was then tested forchemical resistance using 48 different chemical reagents by the followingmethods:

Volatile Chemicals were tested by placing a cotton ball saturated with thereagent in the mouth of a one-ounce bottle and inverting the bottle on the

.

C.



surface panel.

Non-volatile Chemicals were tested by placing five (5) drops of the reagenton the surface of the panel and covering with a 25mm watch glass.

b.

For both of the above methods, the reagents were left on the panel for a period of24 hours. The panel was then washed off with water, cleaned with detergent andnaptha, and rinsed with deionized water. The panel was then dried with a toweland evaluated after 24 hours at 73° F+/- 3°F and 50%+/- 5%relative humidityusing the following rating system:

No Effect - No detectable changes in working surface material.

Excellent - Slight detectable change in color or gloss, but no change orsignificant impairment of working surface function or life.

b.

Good - A clearly discernable change in color or gloss, but no change orsignificant impairment of working surface function or life.

c.

Fair - Objectionable change in appearance due to surface discoloration oretch, possibly resulting in deterioration in function over a period of time.

d.

Failure - Pitting, cratering or erosion of working surface material. Obviousand significant deterioration.
