Significance and Use3.1 When comparing different floor polishes for an actualfield performance, it is important that all surfaces used beprepared in the same way.
8、When this procedure is followed,variations in the test surfaces are minimized.4.

Procedur
9、e5.1 The preferred substrate shall be Official Vinyl Compo-sition Tile.5.2 The test floor shall include both dark (black) and light(white) colored tiles laid out so that one half of the panel is allwhite and the other half is all black.5.3 The minimum test panel size for each polish tested shallbe 3
10、 ft (0.9 m) in width and 3 ft in length.5.4 Prepare all of the test panels with scrub-cleaned newtiles, or strip completely of dirt and old wax, rinse thoroughlyand dry before application of the test polishes. Under nocircumstances should comparative tests be made on new versusold tiles. Similarly,
11、where old tiles are employed, care shouldbe taken to employ tiles or panels with approximately equiva-lent traffic history.5.5 Mask a small portion of a black tile prior to polishing soas to provide an unpolished control area. The masking is toremain during the entire traffic period.5.6 Take glossme

13、and half of the white tiles. Atypical panel is illustrated in Fig. 1. An alternative approach isto apply each polish to a separate panel.5.8 Apply each of the test polishes to the test panels at a rateof 1500 to 2000 ft2/gal (37 to 49 m2/L), using any suitable and1This practice is under the jurisdic

(Environmental conditions outside the norm or 70 to90F (21.1 to 32.2C) and above 70 % relative humidity maynecessitate longer periods of drying t

Again take glossreadings on the four center tiles prior to exposure to traffic.Comparatively rate the films visually for leveling, for anydiscoloration tendencies, and for slip resistance followingCSMA Bulletin 245-70.

They are arrived at by reference to thevisual gloss observations and consideration of gloss retention,or lack of it.An optional method based upon percent reductionin gloss arrived at by calculation with the 60 gloss values maybe used.NOTE 2Percent loss of gloss can be calculated from gloss
37、measure-ments before and after cleaning. The difference between the loss of glossof the sample versus that of the control may be related to detergentresistance. Thus, if the test sample exhibits 5 to 10 % more loss of glossthan the control, it would receive a rating of 1. If the greater lossexceeded
38、 10 %, it would receive a 2 rating, and if the greater loss wereless than 5 %, the rating would be 0. Conversely, if the control sampleexhibited 5 to 10 % more loss of gloss than the test sample, the test samplewould receive a rating of +1, etc.8.7 Mask a second small section of a black tile followi

Spread the solution over the panel and allow toremain for 2 min after which use a moderate scrubbing actionto strip the film.8.9 Rinse the panel and wipe dry with a cloth.8.10 Make visual observations on the black tiles as to filmremoval. Remove the

When more than 12 days of traffic are desired,employ additional evaluation sheets with changes to indicate4th, 5th cleaning, etc.9.2 Evaluate the test panels as follows:9.2.1 One hour after application, visual and 60 gloss andslip resistance following CSMA Bulle
