Overview
ISO 2270:1989 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies a precise chemical method for determining the oxyethylene group content in non-ionic surface active agents. This standard focuses on polyethoxylated derivatives through an iodometric titration process. The method involves the hydrolysis of oxyethylene groups by nascent hydriodic acid, liberation of iodine, and titration with a standard sodium thiosulfate solution.
This standardized method is essential for quality control and analysis of polyethoxylated surfactants commonly used in industrial and laboratory settings. It ensures accurate quantification of oxyethylene groups in specific derivatives while outlining clear limitations for compounds containing interfering elements.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
The method applies to polyethoxylated derivatives of:- Primary saturated fatty alcohols
- Oleyl alcohol
- Saturated fatty acids
- Straight and branched chain alkylphenols
It excludes samples containing:
- Sulfur or nitrogen compounds
- Compounds with oxypropylene groups
- Aldehydes or acetals
- Sterols and their derivatives
Principle of the Method
The analysis is based on the hydrolysis of oxyethylene groups by nascent hydriodic acid to form ethylene di-iodide, which on heating decomposes to iodine. The liberated iodine is then titrated iodometrically with standardized sodium thiosulfate solution.Chemical Reactions
The core reaction converts oxyethylene groups (–CH2–CH2–O–) to ethylene di-iodide under acidic conditions, releasing iodine in proportion to the oxyethylene content.Analytical Procedure
The standard lays out detailed steps involving specific laboratory apparatus such as a round-bottom flask, gas inlet tube, reflux condenser, absorption bulbs, and an oil bath at 165°C. It requires the use of reagents including phosphoric acid, potassium iodide, sodium thiosulfate, methanol, and starch indicator solution.Precision and Repeatability
The method guarantees a maximum repeatability difference of 1.5% and a reproducibility difference between laboratories of up to 3% for samples containing more than 10% ethylene oxide by mass.
Applications
Quality Control in Surfactant Manufacturing
ISO 2270:1989 provides surfactant producers with a reliable approach for determining the exact oxyethylene content in non-ionic surfactants, crucial for maintaining product performance and compliance with specifications.Chemical Research and Development
Researchers developing new polyethoxylated non-ionic surfactants can use this standard to accurately assess the oxyethylene group content during synthesis and formulation.Regulatory and Compliance Testing
Laboratories analyzing commercial surfactant products can employ this method to verify manufacturer claims and meet international regulatory requirements.Industrial Process Monitoring
Enables continuous monitoring and control of ethoxylation processes in chemical plants producing surface active agents.

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. Esch 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, govern-
mental 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 2270 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 91,
