This standard BS 5350-H4:1984 Methods of test for adhesives. Physical tests on hot-melt adhesives is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.180 Adhesives

This Part of this British Standard describes a subjective test method designed to give a rapid estimate of the maximum open time of a hot-melt adhesive under specified test conditions. The method is suitable for hot-melt adhesives which are sufficiently stable to enable a film to be prepared and is independent of the viscosity of the adhesive.

The results by this method may not necessarily indicate the performance of the adhesive in any particular service condition.

NOTE. The publications referred to in this British Standard are listed on page 5.

Describes a procedure for determining time between application and bonding for producing satisfactory joints.
