Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 soilant, na discoloring substance that clings to thesurface of a coating, whose dispersed color component is not insolution and therefore does not penetrate into the film.3.1.1.1 Discussionsoilant
8、 differs from stain in that thecolorant of a stain is in solution and, therefore, can penetrateinto the film.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The test material is applied to a black plastic panel andallowed to dry for 7 days. The reflectance of the film ismeasured (R1) and then a soilant consisting of c
9、arbon blackdispersed in mineral oil is applied on the film. The panel isplaced on a glass plate in a washability machine and the film iswashed with either an abrasive or nonabrasive scrub mediumfor 100 cycles. The panel is rinsed and dried and the reflectancein the stained area is read (R2). The rat
10、io of the reflectance,R2/R1, is a measure of the degree to which the soilant has beenremoved.5. Significance and Use5.1 Interior architectural paints are often discolored by dirtand other soilant materials. This test method covers the relativeease and completeness of removal of a specific soilant fr
11、omsuch a surface by scrubbing. The greater the ease of soilremoval with a minimum of film erosion, the greater the usefulservice life is expected to be.5.2 Results obtained by this test method do not necessarilycorrelate with all types of soilants.5.3 Semigloss finishes generally require only the no
12、nabra-sive type cleaner for good soilant removal, whereas flat paintsmay require the abrasive type.6.

36、thefilm.9. Procedure9.1 Clean the top of the glass plate (or preferably the suctionplate) and both sides of the black plastic panel to be sure theyare free of specks. Place the black panel on the plate and tapeone end to the plate. Smooth the panel along the plate to ensurea close fit.9.2 Stir the t
37、est material thoroughly and strain to remove allskins and particles. Draw down the material on the panel,starting from the taped end of the panel. For latex paints, the0.25-mm (10-mil) side of the applicator will generally besatisfactory, whereas the 0.18-mm (7-mil) side can be used forsolvent-based
38、 coatings. However, the film thickness of paint tobe applied may be varied as mutually agreed upon between thepurchaser and the seller. The rate of application should be fairlyslow, 3 to 4 s from end to end, to prevent pinholes or holidaysin the film.Air dry in a horizontal position for 7 days in a
39、roompreferably maintained at 23 6 2C (73.5 6 3.5F) and 50 65 % relative humidity, or under conditions mutually agreeableto the purchaser and the seller.9.3 On the last day of drying, measure the directionalreflectance (green filter) of a portion of the panel in accordancewith Test Method E1347. Reco
40、rd this value as R1.9.4 After reading the reflectance, use the applicator with the3-mil (75-m) clearance to draw down a film of soilantmedium perpendicular to the coating film and in the area wherethe reflectance was measured. Permit the stained panel to dryfor 16 to 24 h under the same drying condi
41、tions specified in9.2.9.5 Clean the glass surface on which the test panel is to bemounted and also the back of the test panel. Attach the testpanel to the glass plate and place the mounted test panel,coated side up, in the pan. Clamp the assembly securely to thepan with the “C” clamps, centering the
42、 pan so that the spongeboat can move lengthwise on the panel.9.6 Remove the sponge from the holder and soak it inreagent water at room temperature. Remove the sponge andsqueeze repeatedly with one hand until no more water dripsfrom the sponge. Replace the sponge in the holder and pour 156 1 mL of wa
43、ter on the exposed face of the sponge. Stir thescrub medium and spread uniformly across the face of thesponge 10.0 6 0.1 g of nonabrasive scrub medium. (Use aspatula if necessary when applying the abrasive scrub medium,to apply uniformly over the sponge.)9.7 Remove excess soilant by covering the soi
44、led area witha folded absorbent paper towel and exerting pressure by rollingthe towel with a 2.25 kg (5lb) rubber roller. Repeat blottingprocedure twice.Attach the sponge holder, with the sponge andcleaner face down, to the cables of the washability machine.Add 5 mL of water on each side of the hold
45、er in the path of thesponge. Start the motor and allow the sponge to travel 25cycles at the rate of 37 6 1 cpm. Ensure that the sponge andholder are level during the run, otherwise uneven wear willoccur on the test panel. At the end of 25 cycles, stop themachine, remove the sponge, clean in running
46、water, squeezedry, and resoak in water. Wipe off excess stain outside the testarea. Repeat the procedure starting in 9.6 with “ remove thesponge and squeeze it repeatedly.” for an additional 25cycles. Repeat the 25-cycle procedure for a total of 100 cycles,each time trying to start and stop the spon
47、ge outside the stainedarea of the panel.9.8 Remove the test panel from the pan, rinse with runningtap water, gently moving the palm of the hand over the path ofthe sponge to remove clinging particles of scrub medium. Blotthe panel and then allow to dry at room temperature. After thepanel has dried t
48、horoughly, wipe off excess stain outside thetest area and measure reflectance in the soiled and washed areaof the panel. Record as R2.9.9 Repeat the test on a second panel and, for each, calculatethe reflectance recovery in percent as (R2/R1) 3 100.9.10 If the mean reflectance recovery for the two p
49、anels isless than 96 %, repeat the test on another set of panels using theabrasive scrub medium specified in 7.7.2 and report the resultswith both mediums.10. Report10.1 Report the mean of the two determinations and the typeof scrub medium used.10.2 Report any deviations from the standard procedure.10.3 Note if erosion occurred in the soiled area.11.
