Iodine adsorption number of Carbon Black as per ASTM D1510 (Method B)
Summary
The iodine adsorption number (IAN) of carbon black is related to the surface area and can therefore be used for the characterization of carbon black. The presence of volatiles, surface porosity, or extractables will influence the iodine adsorption number. In this Application Note, the fully automated determination of the iodine adsorption number including sample preparation is described.
