Summary of Practice4.1 This guide reviews many of the issues concerning thecompatibility of latex sealants with paint.

Significance and Use5.1 The intent of this guide is to provide the reader withinformation concerning possible reasons for paint failureswhere the paint is used over a latex sealant.CONSIDERATIONS6. Temperature6.1 Since standard testing is usually performed at “roomtemperature,” about 22C, thi

9、s would be considered the idealtemperature for application and curing. As the temperaturedeviates from this ideal, the “science” of drying changes in asmuch as lower temperature results in slower drying and fasterdrying occurs at elevated temperatures.7. Percent Relative Humidity7.1 In waterborne se

10、alants, the humidity directly affects theability of the system to lose water. Standard testing is typicallydone at 50 % RH, which allows for an acceptable evaporationrate. Temperature and humidity variations in climatic regionsand fluctuations through the application and cure will havesignificant im

Broadly speaking, high gloss, interior paintsrepresent the former while

14、 interior flat paints represent thelatter.9. Type of Sealant9.1 The sealant will have an effect on adhesion of the paintfilm, the degree of change in geometry of the paint film andchanges in color and gloss. However, generally speaking, thesechanges are difficult to quantify by the type and quality

15、ofsealant.10. Cure Time10.1 The degree of sealant cure may affect the time to paint,the compatibility of the applied paint with the sealant, and thedry time of the applied paint. An uncured sealant may reactwith the paint ingredients. Cracking of the paint film may occurwhen the sealant is painted b

16、efore curing of the sealant bead iscomplete due to subsequent shrinkage of the underlyingsealant. Additionally, migration of sealant components to thebead surface may affect adhesion.11. Sealant Geometry/Tooling11.1 Use of a backing material usually helps to decreasesealant cracking and thereby also

17、 usually decrease paintfailure.12. Method of Paint Application12.1 The manner in which the paint is applied, that is, roller,brush or sprayer, may affect the thickness of the paint that isinitially applied. Some rollers and brushes, especially low costapplicators, may lose bristles or leave brush st

18、rokes or surfaceirregularities in the paint film, which may promote prematurefailures.13. Substrate Effects13.1 The porosity, composition and cleanliness of the sub-strate affect the cure of both sealant and paint. A more poroussubstrate will wick away water or solvent and shorten the paintcuring pe

19、riod. A difficult to adhere to substrate, or one thatconsists of material containing low molecular weight oils,plasticizers, etc., will affect film formation and wetting, andmay induce gloss and color change.14. Type of Construction14.1 This affects the substrates and amount of movementthat a paint/

20、sealant system may be subjected to.15. Lot to Lot Variation15.1 A number of factors contribute to lot to lot variation inboth sealants and paints. Whenever changing either, it may beprudent to test compatibility.OBSERVATIONS16. Cracking16.1 This may be simple cracking of the paint film or maymanifes

21、t itself as a crack in the sealant. The degree and amountof cracking between the sealant and the paint will affect theacceptability of this condition. Severe cracking of the sealantmay overwhelm the crack bridging ability of the paint film.17. Color Change17.1 This may be caused by the leaching of m

22、aterial fromeither the sealant or substrate into the paint and changing itsappearance. This may also be caused by the paint being moresusceptible to dirt pick-up, especially in areas where airbornedirt is prevalent.18. Gloss18.1 Plasticizer migration may cause the paint to develop ahigher more gloss
