This document provides a test method for the evaluation of mass loss upon heating for cross-linked
polyacrylate superabsorbent powders.
This method is applicable to powdered polymeric superabsorbent materials that are free-flowing under
the specified test conditions. Substances other than water that are volatile in this temperature range
will interfere. The onus is on the polymer formulator/ producer to decide if such interference is possible
and either exclude the method from use, provide an alternative or modify the method accordingly.
