Ignition Loss of Cured Reinforced Resins (ASTM D2584)

ASTM D2584 determines the ignition loss of cured reinforced resins by burning specimens and measuring the weight loss. Three 5 gram specimens are conditioned then weighed before being burned in a furnace at 565°C until all carbon remains disappear. The crucibles are then weighed again and the ignition loss is calculated as a percentage based on the original and final weights to examine the remaining fiber and estimate the original resin content.

Scope:
ASTM D2584 is used to determine ignition loss of cured reinforced resins and can be used to
examine the remaining fiber post burning. If only glass reinforcement and organic resin were
present, the ignition loss can be considered resin content.

Test Procedure:
Three 5.0 gram specimens (approximately 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch by thickness) are conditioned at
standard laboratory conditions for a minimum of 40 hours. The specimens are then weighed on an
analytical balance to the nearest 0.1mg. The specimens are then placed in pre-dried, pre-weighed
crucibles and placed in a muffle furnace at 565°C ± 28°C until all carbonaceous material has
disappeared. The crucibles are then cooled in a desiccator. The crucibles are then reweighed. The
ignition loss is calculated

Specimen size:
5.0 grams specimens (approximately 2.5 inch * 2.5 inch * thickness)

Data:
The ignition loss in weight percent is calculated as follows: VC = (W1 – W2) / W1 * 100
W1 = weight of specimen
W2 = weight of residue
