27、 20046.4 PACKAGE STABILITY: Perform the following tests: Place each component in an appropriate closed container (i.e., a lined metal or plastic can) in an oven for one month at 52 1C (125 2F). There shall be no viscosity change in excess of 10 Krebs Units when tested in accordance with ASTM D 562.

28、The cured fi lm shall produce a uniform appearance when applied at recommended fi lm thicknesses.6.5 MECHANICAL STABILITY: Test each component separately by fi lling a one-quart friction top can three-quarters full and closing the can tightly. Rotate on a jar roller for one week at 120-170 rpm. Ther

29、e shall be no indication of separa-tion, coagulation, or changes in viscosity greater than 10 Krebs Units (per ASTM D 562).6.6 POT LIFE: The term “pot life,” as used for solvent-borne or solventless epoxies, generally does not have the same meaning for water-borne epoxies. The usable pot life of mix

30、ed components of water-borne epoxies cannot be determined simply by measuring changes in viscosity. Thoroughly mix together both components of the coating to yield one quart of mixed material. Allow this mixture to stand at the standard conditions specifi ed in Section 5.1 for the pot life specifi e

31、d by the manufacturer. At the end of this time period, the mixed coating shall show no evidence of gelation and must meet the requirements of Sections 6.7 through 6.13. The cured fi lm shall show no signifi cant change in color or gloss as measured by ASTM D 2244 and D 523, respectively. These metho

32、ds contain defi nitions of the degree of difference between original color or gloss and fi nal color or gloss deemed to be signifi cant by visual observation.6.7 LABORATORY APPLICATION PROPERTIES: Thoroughly mix together both components of the coating. Allow the mixed material to stand for the manuf

33、acturers specifi ed induction time (if any). Apply the coating in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations to a primed, vertical steel substrate under the standard conditions specifi ed in Sections 5.1 through 5.4.
