《GB/T 15596-2021塑料 在玻璃过滤后太阳辐射、自然气候或实验室辐射源暴露后颜色和性能变化的测定》由TC15(全国塑料标准化技术委员会)归口,TC15SC5(全国塑料标准化技术委员会老化方法分会)执行,主管部门为中国石油和化学工业联合会。


Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

Test items 2009 version Main changes in the 2021 version
Standard name Determination of sunlight exposure of plastics under glass Determination of radiation exposure of plastics after glass filtering
Referenced standards Referenced ISO105-A series Newly added ISO11664 colorimetry series standards
Test methods Basic color determination Add CIE1976L*a*b* color space analysis

Key technical points

1. Color change measurement

When using the spectrophotometer, the following must be met:

  • CIE1964 standard chromaticity observer (10° field of view)
  • D65 standard light source is preferred
  • Transparent materials are in accordance with CIE No.15 requirements
Actual case: After 3000 hours of xenon lamp aging, the ΔE*ab value of an automobile interior ABS plastic reached 5.3. The main change was that the Δb* (yellowing index) increased by 4.2 units.

2. Mechanical Properties Test

Performance Index Test Standard Sensitivity
Tensile Strength ISO527 Medium
Elongation at Break ISO527 High
Impact Strength ISO179 Extremely High

Implementation Recommendations

  1. Sample preparation: At least 5 parallel samples per group, destructive testing requires separate samples
  2. Data recording: Must include the mean value ± standard deviation (e.g. ΔE*=3.2±0.4)
  3. Environmental control: State adjustment is strictly in accordance with ISO291's 23℃/50%RH conditions
  4. Instrument calibration: The colorimeter needs to be calibrated with NIST traceability every year

Technology evolution analysis

Main technological breakthroughs of the 2021 version:

  • Introduction of ISO10640 infrared spectroscopy to analyze chemical aging mechanisms
  • Improvement of data processing formulas for non-destructive testing (see Appendix A)
  • Add the performance degradation curve analysis method shown in Figure A.1
