1、Designation: D 4946 89 (Reapproved 2008)e1Standard Test Method forBlocking Resistance of Architectural Paints1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4946; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTEAn editorial correction was made in the Terminology section in February 2008.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers an accelera

3、ted procedure forevaluating the face-to-face blocking resistance of trades salespaints. This is not to be confused with blocking resistance TestMethod D 3003, which is concerned with blocking of industrialcoatings on metal substrates, nor with Test Method D 2793which is concerned specifically with w

4、ood product finishes andreports results on a satisfactory or not satisfactory basis, ratherthan by the degree of blocking tendency as in this test method.1.2 The values stated in the SI units of measurement are tobe regarded as the standard. The values given in parenthesesare for information only.1.

5、3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Doc

7、.1 Definition:3.1.1 blocking, nthe undesirable sticking together of twopainted surfaces when pressed together or placed in contactwith each other for an extended period of time, as referenced inTerminology D 16.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Dried paint films are placed face-to-face and a pressureof a

8、bout 127 g/cm2(1.8 psi) is applied. These paint films are putinto an oven for 30 min to make the test more stringent. Aftercooling, the blocked panels are peeled apart. The degree ofblocking is rated subjectively for tack or seal using a series ofstandard descriptive terms corresponding to numerical

9、 ASTMvalues of 10 to 0.5. Significance and Use5.1 Dry paint often comes in contact with itself especially inwindow and door areas and, depending on its hardness, thepressure, temperature, humidity, and duration of time thesurfaces are in contact, sometimes sticks to itself (blocks). Thisstringent te

10、st method can be used to compare and ratesubjectively the resistance of paints to blocking.6. Apparatus6.1 Conditioned Room, at 18 to 29.5C (65 to 85F) and 40to 60 % relative humidity.6.2 Sealed Paper Test Charts, approximately 190 by 280mm (7.5 by 11 in.).6.3 Applicator Blade, 13 to 15 cm (5 to 6 i

11、n.) wide,0.15-mm (6-mil) clearance.6.4 Oven, 48 to 52C (115 to 125F).6.5 Rubber Stoppers, No. 8, 3.2 cm (1.25 in.) smallerdiameter.6.6 Weights, 1000 g.6.7 Scissors.6.8 Aluminum Tray or Pan, flat.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings, Materials

14、ates.7. Procedure7.1 Cast the paint to be tested on a sealed test chart using theapplicator blade. Condition coated panels in the conditionedroom for seven days. All painted panels should be kept free ofgrease, oil, or fingerprints since these will affect block resis-tance.7.2 After the panels have

15、been conditioned, cut out six 3.8by 3.8-cm (112 by 112-in.) sections from the painted chart.Start the cut at least 1.3 cm (12 in.) away from the edge of thedrawdown.7.3 Place the cut sections with the paint surfaces face-to-face for each paint to be tested.7.4 The weights, stoppers, and tray should

16、be temperatureequilibrated in the oven prior to running the test.7.5 Place the face-to-face specimens in the oven on a flataluminum tray. Place a No. 8 stopper on top, with the smalldiameter in contact with the specimens, then place a 1000-gweight on top of the stopper. This results in a pressure of

17、 127g/cm2(1.8 psi) on the specimens. One weight and stopper is tobe used for each specimen to be tested. It is recommended that“pass” and “fail” paint controls be used in each test run and thatthe tests be run in triplicate.7.6 After exactly 30 min, take the stoppers and weights offthe test specimen

18、s and remove them from the oven. Allowthem to cool for12 h in the conditioned room before determin-ing the block resistance.7.7 After cooling, separate the specimens by peeling themapart with a slow and steady force at about 180 from eachother forming a “T” pattern during beginning of the separation

19、.It is necessary to put the specimen next to the ear whileseparating to actually hear the degree of tack. Rate for blockingresistance on a scale of 0 to 10 (see 8.2).8. Interpretation of Results8.1 Blocking resistance is rated on a scale of 10 to 0, whichcorresponds to a subjective tack (sound of se

20、paration whenpeeled) or seal (the complete sticking together) rating deter-mined by the operator. This rating system is defined in 8.2 inthe appropriate descriptive terms. The degree of seal is theestimated area on the specimens where the paint surfacesadhere and some of the paper tears away from th

Numerical valuesmay differ from operator to operator but relative rankingshould be about the same. As in many tests the precisionimproves with practice.11. Keywords11.1 blocking; bloc
