1 Scope
This International Standard gives definitions relative to polymer dispersions and latices and identifies the test methods applicable for determining the properties of polymer dispersions, comprising products of synthetic or natural origin including synthetic and natural rubber latices. Some of the test methods apply only to polymer dispersions or latices of specific chemical composition or to those to be used for specific applications.
NOTE When they are not the subject of an existing International Standard, the test methods to be used for investigation of an individual polymer dispersion or latex are intended to be the subject of an agreement between the interested parties.
