Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products,
Subcommittee SC 3, Raw materials (including latex) for use in the rubber industry.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 22768:2017), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— rubber latex has been added to the scope and to Clause 6 as 6.2;
— a new Annex B on the precision of rubber latex has been added.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Raw rubber and rubber latex — Determination of the
glass transition temperature by differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC)
WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method using a differential scanning calorimeter to determine the glass
transition temperature of raw rubber and rubber latex.

4 Principle
The change in specific heat capacity of the test sample as a function of temperature under a specified
inert atmosphere is measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The glass transition
temperature is determined from the curve thus produced.
5 Apparatus and materials
5.1 Differential scanning calorimeter, in accordance with ISO 11357-1:2016, 5.1.
The calorimeter should be operated in a room held at standard laboratory temperature. It should be
protected from draughts, direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes.
5.2 Specimen pans (crucibles), in accordance with ISO 11357-1:2016, 5.2.
5.3 Gas supply, analytical grade, usually nitrogen or helium.
5.4 Balance, capable of measuring the specimen mass to an accuracy of ±0,1 mg.
5.5 Oven, capable of being maintained at 105 °C ± 5 °C.
6 Preparation of the test sample
6.1 Raw rubber
The test specimen shall be as representative as possible of the sample being examined and shall have a
mass between 0,01 g and 0,02 g.
To determine T of polymers, extract raw rubber in accordance with ISO 1407.
g
6.2 Rubber latex
Dry rubber latex samples at 105 °C± 5 °C in accordance with ISO 124:2014, 6.2. Remove the rubber latex
film and cut into pieces about 2 mm × 2 mm.
7 Conditioning
Condition the sample to be examined and the test specimen in accordance with ISO 23529.
8 Calibration
Calibrate the calorimeter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The use of suitable analytical grade substances is recommended to check the accuracy of the
temperature scale. Ideally, substances whose melting points bracket the temperature range of interest
should be chosen. n-Octane, n-heptane and cyclohexane have been found to be useful. Indium should be
used if a higher temperature calibrant is required.

9 Procedure
9.1 Gas flow rate
The same inert gas flow rate with a tolerance of ±10 %, shall be used throughout the procedure. Flow
rates between 10 ml/min and 100 ml/min have been found to be suitable.
9.2 Loading the test specimen
Determine the mass of the test specimen to an accuracy of ±0,1 mg. Unless otherwise specified in the
materials standard, use a mass between 5 mg and 20 mg. The same nominal mass shall be used for all
determinations. If possible, the specimen shall have a flat surface so as to give good thermal contact
with the bottom of the pan.
NOTE 1 Intimate thermal contact between the test specimen and the bottom of the pan is essential for good
repeatability.
Place the specimen in the pan, using tweezers and seal with a lid. Place the sealed pan in the calorimeter
using tweezers.
Do not handle the test specimen or the pan with bare hands.
NOTE 2 Placing an empty pan with a lid as a reference helps to obtain stable DSC thermograms.
9.3 Temperature scan
9.3.1 Cool the test specimen to a temperature of approximately −140 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min or 20 °C/
min and hold at this temperature for 1 min to 10 min until the baseline becomes stable.
A starting temperature of −140 °C is required for the determination of rubbers and rubber latices with
very low glass transition temperatures, e.g. high-cis polybutadiene. For rubbers and rubber latices with
higher glass transitions, this temperature is not necessary.
A starting temperature should be chosen so that a stable base line is achieved b
