1、Designation: D7306 07 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forTesting Low Temperature Film-Formation of Latex Paints byVisual Observation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7306; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case o

2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice specifies a laboratory procedure for evalu-ating the ability of a latex paint to

3、 form a uniform film free ofvisible defects at low temperatures.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is

6、. Summary of Practice4.1 The paint, applicator and the test panel are allowed toequilibrate for at least4hat46 2C (39 6 4F). The test paintis applied to a part-sealed/part-unsealed drawdown chart andimmediately placed in a cold cabinet.4.2 After 18 h the panel is removed from the cold cabinetand eva

7、luated for any cracking of the paint film.NOTE 1Temperature of film formation testing may be altered uponmutual consent of all parties involved.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice can be used by paint formulators todetermine if a given paint has the ability to form a film at lowtemperatures. Th

8、is practice can be used as an aid for determin-ing coalescing solvent level required to form a good film. TestMethod D3793 compares the porosity of a film drawn down atroom temperature to another film drawn down and cured at lowtemperature.5.2 This practice provides no absolute information, ratherra

9、nking only of the selected series of paints.5.3 This practice can provide a pass-fail situation if knownacceptable and unacceptable paints are included in the test.6.

16、veral thicknesses in orderto obtain a better understanding of low temperature film performance.Thicker films tend to increase the likelihood of cracking.NOTE 4Variations in airflow within the cold cabinet can affect results.8. Report8.1 Examine the dried film for continuity under a magnify-ing glass

17、. Report the degree of cracking over the sealed surfaceand the unsealed surface. Disregard cracking on the peripheryof the dried film.8.2 Rating system for each surface should be as follows:5 = No cracking4 = Slight cracking (visible with magnifying glass only)3 = Some cracking (just visible with ey

18、e)2 = Moderate cracking1 = Severe cracking0 = Film chips off completely8.3 Add the ratings of the sealed and unsealed portionstogether to obtain a total rating from 0 to 10 for the appliedpaint.8.4 Record humidity during the drying period.NOTE 5Changes in visual gloss may also indicate poor film for
