Overview

SIST EN 12704:2016 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a precise test method for determining foam formation in aqueous adhesives used for paper, board packaging, and disposable sanitary products. This standard focuses on measuring the air entrainment caused by rapid stirring of aqueous adhesives with viscosities up to 10,000 MPa·s at room temperature. Accurate evaluation of foam formation is critical for ensuring adhesive performance and product quality in packaging and hygiene industries.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    SIST EN 12704:2016 defines a standardized procedure to assess foam generation during the stirring of water-based adhesives. It applies specifically to adhesives with a maximum viscosity of 10,000 MPa·s as set by EN 12092.

  • Test Principle
    The method involves vigorous stirring of an adhesive sample and measuring the increase in volume due to foam formation. The foam height is recorded immediately after stirring and after specific intervals to evaluate foam stability.

  • Apparatus Requirements
    Essential equipment includes a motorized stirrer capable of speeds up to 3000 min⁻¹, a 2-liter transparent beaker, an accurate balance, timer, and ruler for height measurement, along with a secure mechanical setup to hold the stirrer and beaker.

  • Testing Procedure
    The sample is conditioned at 23°C and 50% relative humidity for 24 hours. A 400g sample is rapidly stirred increasing to 2500 min⁻¹ speed, maintained for 5 minutes. Foam heights are measured immediately, at 1 minute, and at 5 minutes post stirring to assess foam volume and stability.

  • Result Calculation
    Foam formation percentage is calculated based on the change in adhesive height before and after stirring, averaging over multiple measurements. The method provides quantifiable data to compare foam tendencies of different adhesive formulations.

  • Reporting
    The test report must include references to the standard, adhesive identification and description (including viscosity and pH), test conditions, test results, and date of testing to ensure traceability and repeatability.

Applications

  • Packaging Industry
    Ensures adhesives used in paper and board packaging meet strict performance criteria by controlling foam formation, which can affect bonding strength and appearance.

  • Disposable Sanitary Products
    Foam control in adhesives is essential to maintain product integrity and hygiene when bonding materials in items such as sanitary napkins and diapers.

  • Adhesive Development and Quality Control
    Manufacturers use SIST EN 12704:2016 to optimize adhesive formulations for minimal foam generation, facilitating smoother application and improved final product quality.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Following this standard assists companies in meeting industry regulations and customer specifications for adhesive performance and safety.

Related Standards

  • EN 12092 – Determination of viscosity for adhesives; critical for confirming the adhesive viscosity range applicable under SIST EN 12704:2016.

  • EN 923 – Provides terms and definitions essential for understanding adhesive properties within the context of EN 12704.

  • EN 1067 – Covers examination and preparation procedures for adhesive samples to ensure consistent testing conditions.

  • EN ISO 15605 – Standardizes the sampling process for adhesives ensuring representative test specimens.


Adopting SIST EN 12704:2016 enhances product reliability by delivering a reliable method to quantify and control foam formation in aqueous adhesives. This is vital for manufacturers and quality assurance teams aiming for excellence in paper and board packaging as well as disposable sanitary products manufacturing.
