Standard Test Method for Ethylene Oxide Content of Polyethoxylated Nonionic Surfactants
 N D2959

Annotation

This test method covers the determination of ethylene oxide in polyethoxylated nonionic surfactants. It can also be used for compounds containing propylene oxide or any compounds (glycols and glycol and polyglycol ethers and esters) which form unstable 1,2-diiodides on reaction with hydriodic acid

NOTE 1—Compounds in which the oxyalkylene group is connected to a nitrogen cannot be entirely decomposed. This can be used to determine the percent of an ethoxylated surfactant in a mixture, if the ethylene oxide content of the ethoxylated surfactant is known

NOTE 2—This method reports results as percent ethylene oxide. If this method is applied to unknown compounds or compositions, the analyst should be aware of the possible presence of material other than ethylene oxide

NOTE 3—For use on built syndet compositions the organic active ingredient must be isolated in accordance with Test Method D2358

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard
