This International Standard is used to determine the total chlorine content of aromatic isocyanates used in the
preparation of polyurethanes. The difference between the total chlorine content and the hydrolyzable chlorine
content (see ISO 15028) is a measure of the process solvents left in the product. Both test methods are
applicable to a variety of organic compounds, including aliphatic isocyanates, but the amount of sample used
might need to be adjusted. These test methods can be used for research or for quality control.
NOTE This International Standard is technically equivalent to ASTM D 4661-03.
