1、Designation: D5201 05a (Reapproved 2014)Standard Practice forCalculating Formulation Physical Constants of Paints andCoatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5201; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision
2、, 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 covers procedures commonly used in thepaint industry to formulate paints and coating mater
3、ials. Itdescribes procedures for calculating formulation values forweight solids, volume solids, solvent content, volatile organiccompound (VOC) content, hazardous air pollutant (HAP)content, and density of liquid paints and coatings. These valuesare calculated from basic formulation data. These cal
4、culationsmay be related to either as-supplied (unreduced) or as-applied(reduced) coating materials, including multicomponent types.1.2 These calculated, formulation-based values may or maynot be acceptable for VOC regulatory purposes, depending onthe specific wording of the applicable regulation. So
5、me regu-lations require analysis of the coating. Some rules allow the useof formulation data, however, some adjustments may beneeded to the values calculated in this practice before they areused for regulatory purposes (see 4.3).1.3 For purposes of this practice, it is assumed that volatilecomponent
6、s evaporate and the materials that remain areidentified as coating solids. For example, solvents are normallyused to adjust viscosity for application and appearance of thecoating. Other liquid materials, such as plasticizers, reactivediluents, etc., that are expected to be retained in the dried film
7、to affect the final physical properties should be classified aspart of the coating solids. Standards such as Test MethodsD2369, D4758, D5403 and Guide D2832 may be used todetermine volatile or nonvolatile content of specific compo-nents. For purposes of this practice it is assumed that theblended fo
8、rmulation behaves as an ideal solution with novolume change on mixing (see 6.2).1.4 Volatile by-products of cross-linking reactions (curevolatiles) are not considered in these calculations since theobject of this practice is to define paint physical constantsbased on formulation information. Variati
9、ons in raw materials,variations in the production processes, test methods, and testmethod accuracy are not taken into account in these calcula-tions.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that a
10、re provided for information onlyand are not considered standard. However, they may be readilyconverted into SI units, if required by the user (for example,see Note 4).2.

32、) can be calculated from thetotal weight (Wf) and total volume (Vf) of the formulation. Theformulation volume can be calculated from the weight anddensity of each ingredient as given by the following equation:Df5 Wf/Vf5 W11W21 Wn#/W1/D11W2/D21 Wn/Dfn#5 sum# Wi/sum# Wi/Di(1)where:n = number of items
33、in the formulation,Df= formula density, lb/gal (g/L),Wf= total weight of formula, lb (g),Vf= total volume of formula, gal (L),Wi= weight of ingredient, lb (g), andDi= density of ingredient.5.2.1.1 An example would be as follows where the weight(W) and density (D) of each ingredient are known:Ingredi

36、s long as the density of thepaint and the other ingredients in that formulation are known.This situation may occur with a resin solution where thedensity and volume of the polymer solids are unknown, as inthe following example:IngredientWeightW, (lb)DensityD, (lb/gal)VolumeV, (gal)Polymer solids 50.

38、 (Volatile) Density:5.3.1 The density of the solvent (volatile) portion can becalculated using the following equation:Ds5 V1D11V2D21V3D31VnDn#/V11V21V31Vn#5 sum# ViDi/sum# Vi(2)where:Ds= density of solvent portion, lb/gal (g/L),Vi= volume of individual solvent, gal (L),Di= density of individual solv

40、quation, as follows:DS5 Sum Wi/SumWi/Di! (3)5.4 Formula Weight Percent Solids (Nonvolatile): If theweight percent solids content of each ingredient is known, thetotal formulation weight percent solids can be determined bysumming up the weight of solids in each ingredient divided bythe total weight o
41、f the paint.5.4.1 Calculate percent of solids by weight as follows:SW5 Sumwt of solids!/total wt of coating! 3100 (4)5WiSi!/Wfwhere:SW= formula weight percent of solids (nonvolatile), %,Wf= total weight of formula, lb. (g),Wi= weight of ingredient, lb. (g), andSi= weight percent solids of ingredient
42、, %.5.5 Formula Volume Percent Solids (Nonvolatile): Gener-ally the volume solids content is calculated by subtracting thevolume of all solvent from the total volume, since the volumeof the solvent portion is usually more readily available than thevolume of solid materials. The volume of the solvent
43、 portionmay be obtained directly from the formula data or determinedby dividing the weight (W) by the density (D) of each solvent.Calculate percent of solids by volume using one of thefollowing equations, depending on available information.5.5.1 Calculate volume percent solids by subtracting thevolu
44、me of solvents from the total volume of paint, as follows:Sv5 total vol of paint 2 vol of solvents!/total vol of paint! 3100(5)where:Sv= volume percent of solids (nonvolatile)or5.5.2 Calculate volume percent solids directly if the volumeof solids and volume of paint are known:SV5 volume of solids!/t
45、otal volume of paint! 3100 (6)where:Sv= volume percent of solids (nonvolatile)or,5.5.3 When the volume solids of each ingredient in aformulation is known, the volume solids of the formulation canbe calculated by totaling the volumes and volume solids ofeach ingredient as follows:5.5.3.1 Calculate th
46、e volume (Vi) of each ingredient fromthe formula weight (Wi) of each ingredient, divided by itsdensity (Di):Vi5 Wi/Di(7)5.5.3.2 Determine the total volume (Vf) of the formula fromthe sum of the volumes of the individual ingredients:Vf5 Vi(8)5.5.3.3 Formula volume solids content (Svf) is calculated i
47、nthe following manner. The volume of each ingredient (Vi)ismultiplied by the volume percent solids of that ingredient (Svi)and the sum of these volume solids is divided by the totalvolume of the formula to give formula volume solids.
