ASTM-D3793 › Standard Test Method for Low-Temperature Coalescence of Latex Paint Films by Porosity Measurement (Withdrawn 2012)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the comparative coalescence of a series of latex paints by determining the porosity of films dried at standard and at low temperature. Porosity is evaluated with a penetrating medium as in Test Method D 3258.
1.2 The texture of the film, which can affect cleanup, will influence the results of the test. Stain applied to a high-hiding paint will not lower the reflectance as much as the same stain applied to a low-hiding paint of equal porosity. These points must be considered in comparing the different paints.
1.3 This method should be used only for comparative testing within one laboratory, as the numerical results obtained by different laboratories do not usually agree.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Significance and Use
This test method provides no absolute information, rather ranking only of the selected series of paints.
This test method can provide a pass-fail situation if known acceptable and unacceptable paints are included in the test.
