Determination of resin content in rubber samples
Soxhlet extraction is a common technique for extracting compounds like oils and resins from rubber using solvents like hexane, toluene, or acetone. This method, detailed in ISO 1407:2012, ensures efficient extraction by continuously cycling the solvent through the sample. In this study, the Soxhlet method is compared with the Randall method used in the VELP SER 158, evaluating efficiency, reproducibility, and accuracy for rubber analysis.
