1、Designation: D2064 91 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method forPrint Resistance of Architectural Paints1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2064; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev
2、ision. 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 test method covers an accelerated procedure forevaluating the print resistance of architectural paints. It differsfrom pr
3、int resistance Test Method D2091 in that the latter isconcerned with lacquer finishes under packaging, shipping, andwarehousing conditions, whereas this test method is concernedwith decorative coatings undergoing random on-site pressurecontact.NOTE 1Printing should not be confused with blocking, whi
4、ch ismeasured in Test Method D4946. The former relates to the indentation ofa surface, and the latter, the sticking together of two surfaces.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 print resistance, nthe ability of a paint film to resistforming a permanent impression in a semihardened film as aresult of a pressure from an object
7、 placed on it.3.2 For additional definitions of terms, refer to Paint/Coatings Dictionary.34. Summary of Test Method4.1 A piece of cheesecloth is placed on the painted surfaceand topped with a No. 8 rubber stopper (position smallerdiameter of stopper on the cheesecloth) and a 500-g weight tocreate a
8、 pressure of about 0.9 psi (6.2 kPa). This assembly isplaced in a 140F (60C), or other agreed upon temperature,oven for 1 h. When cooled, the resulting paint surfaces arerated on the numerical scale of 0 to 10, which corresponds toa subjective rating of an impression resulting from their beingin con
9、tact with the cheesecloth.5. Significance and Use5.1 The ability of a coating to resist printing is importantbecause its appearance is adversely affected if the smoothnessof the coating film is altered by contact with another surface,particularly one with a texture. Interior paint systems, particu-l
10、arly gloss and semigloss on window sills and other horizontalsurfaces, often have objects such as flower pots placed on themthat may tend to leave a permanent impression. This tendencyfor a paint film to “print” is a function of the hardness of thecoating, the pressure, temperature, humidity, and th
11、e durationof time that the object is in contact with the painted surface.6. Apparatus6.1 Conditioning Room, at 65 to 85F (18 to 29.5C) and 40to 60 % relative humidity.6.2 Glass Slides, approximately 3 by 6 in. (75 by 150 mm).6.3 Drawdown Applicator, 3-in. (75-mm) wide with a clear-ance of 6 mils (15
12、0 m).6.4 Oven, maintained at 140 6 3.5F (60 6 2C) or, otheragreed upon temperature.6.5 Rubber Stoppers, No. 8 (40-mm top diameter and32-mm bottom diameter).6.6 Cheesecloth, medium weave, 24/20, bleached cotton.6.7 Scissors.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand

16、in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.16.8 Weight, 500-g.7. Procedure7.1 Cast the paints being tested on glass slides using adrawdown applicator with a
17、 clearance of 6 mils (150 m).Allow the coated glass slides to dry in the conditioned room for7 days.7.2 Cut out approximately 112 by 112-in. (40 by 40-mm)pieces of cheesecloth, one piece for each slide. Use cheesecloththat is usually supplied with 4 intact layers. Do not separate thelayers.7.3 Place
18、 the test slides on a horizontal tray, painted faceupward, then place one piece of cheesecloth over each slideand top with the small diameter face of a No. 8 stopper and a500-g weight, one weight and stopper for each specimen.(Weights and stoppers should be equilibrated in the oven priorto running t
19、he test.) It is recommended that control paints ofknown satisfactory and unsatisfactory performance be used ineach test run and that the tests be run in duplicate.7.4 Place the entire assembly in the oven and remove it afterexactly 1 h. Immediately lift off the weights and stopperswithout disturbing
20、 the cheesecloth and allow to cool.7.5 After approximately12 h, remove the cheesecloths andcarefully examine the appearance of the films underneath. Notethe depth and amount of cheesecloth pattern left in the paintfilm. If necessary examine the panel, for better perception ofindentations, by viewing
21、 it at a low (grazing) angle ofillumination.8. Interpretation of Results8.1 Rate print resistance is rated on a numerical scale of 0 to10 corresponding to a subjective rating of the degree to whichthe paint film has been imprinted. Record the numerical valuefor print resistance in accordance with th
22、e following ASTMstyle rating or scoring system:NumericalRatingQualitative Characterization(Resistance to Printing)Quantitative Description(Amount of Printing)10 perfect none8 very good very slight6 good slight4 fair moderate2 poor considerable0 very poor very great9. Report9.1 Report the print resis
23、tance rating determined in accor-dance with 8.1. Specify temperature used.10. Precision10.1 Data are unavailable for a conventional intra- andinterlaboratory precision statement. However, based on actuallaboratory experience, with experienced operators, the repeat-ability is estimated to be plus or
24、minus one unit. The employ-ment of common control paints with mutually agreed ratingsshould make it possible for interlaboratory agreement (repro-ducibility) to approach intralaboratory agreement (repeatabil-ity). Although numerical ratings may differ with differentoperators or at different times, r
25、anking should be about thesame. As in many tests the precision improves with practice.11.
