- Description of the measure
- Test methods
3(a) Measure the thickness of the plastic film using the method described in SAZ-ISO4893, and check the results for compliance;
(b) Type of ink (nitrocellulose spot test) If Type A Ink is claimed, the claimant shall not exhibit any change of colour, the general principle is that a solution of diphenylamine in concentrated sulfuric acid is used to indicate the presence of nitrocellulose, the re-agent causes an almost instantaneous formation of a dark blue colour on contact with nitrocellulose.
CAUTION:
The substances used for this test are extremely dangerous. Gloves and safety glasses should be used throughout the preparation and use of this solution.
(i). Preparation of test solution.
A. Carefully mix together the following ingredients in a conical flask whilst cooling the flask under running water-
(1) 0.5g diphenylamine (C12 H11 N);
(2) 10,0 g water; and
(3) 30,0 g concentrated sulphuric acid (98%)
CAUTION:
Add the acid slowly to the water.
B. carefully add a further 60,0g of concentrated sulphuric acid, and mix gently.
C. transfer the contents of the flash to a dark glass bottle, and label and date the bottle,
NOTE:
The solution should have a shelf life of approximately one month. The solution will initially be a yellow/ orange colour, and it should be discarded and prepared afresh if it sows any signs of discolouration (which would probably indicate a reaction with light, oxidation or contamination).
(ii) Procedure
A. Place one drop of the test solution on a sample of the dried ink to be tested.
B. Check after thirty seconds for any colour change,
If the colour changes to the dark blue, it indicates the presence of nitrocellulose.” - Reference of the measure
