1、Designation: D1793 17Standard Test Method forWater Spotting of Emulsion Floor Polishes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1793; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number i
2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of waterspotting resistance of water emulsion floor polishes. The testmethod approximates the actual

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of
4、regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Tra

This test method may be used tomeasure the extent of damage by a large amount of water or ina separate method to measure the amount of damage by a smallamount o
7、f water that has evaporated to dryness. Referencepolishes should be used for comparison.NOTE 1The test method may induce slight whitening, color change,noticeable change in appearance, including removal of the film, which iscaused by contact with water.5.

Preparation of Test Panel6.1 Apply the emulsion floor polish on the black officialvinyl composition tile panel in accordance with Method C(Manual Dip Method) of Test Methods D1436. Afterapplication, place the pa
9、nel in a near vertical position and at theend of 10 min, wipe off the bead at the bottom of the panel andallow the panel to dry in a vertical position for2hatstandardconditions of 50 6 4 % relative humidity and 23.9 6 1.1C (756 2F). Apply a second coat in the same manner but reversethe panel so that
10、 the top is at the bottom. Drain in a nearvertical position for 10 min, wipe off the bead, and continuedrying in a vertical position at standard conditions for 24 h.NOTE 2The drying time, counted from the time of application of thesecond coat, may be varied from 24 h, but it should be remembered tha
11、tsome floor polishes which have suitable water spotting resistance duringtheir normal service life do not achieve this resistance until 24 to 48 h afterapplication.7. Procedure7.1 Dynamic TestStandard conditions of 50 6 4 % rela-tive humidity and 23.9 6 1.1C (75 6 2F) should prevail inthe test area.
12、 Place the panel in a horizontal position makingsure that the top is level. Place 1 mL of distilled water near thecenter of the panel, and allow it to stand undisturbed for 1 h.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D21 on Polishesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommitte

Precision and Bias8.1 This test method consistently
20、differentiates the polishwith poor water-spot resistance from polishes with goodwater-spot resistance with an acceptable differentiation ofpolishes that are very close together.
