Scope1.1 This test method covers an accelerated method fordetermining the relative resistance of a paint or co
3、ating film toalgal growth.NOTE 1It is hoped that a ranking of relative performance would besimilar to that ranked from outdoor exposures. However, this test methodshould not be used as a replacement for exterior exposure since manyother factors, only a few of which are listed will affect those resul

Summary of Test Method3.1
7、 This test method outlines a procedure to (1) prepare asuitable specimen for testing, (2) inoculate the specimen witha mixture of the proper algal species, (3) expose the inoculatedsamples under the appropriate conditions for growth, and (4)provide a schedule and guidelines for visual growth ratings
8、.This test method is not designed to include all the necessaryprocedures to maintain the proper microbiological techniquesrequired to provide the most accurate results.4. Significance and Use4.1 Defacement of paint and coating films by algal growth isa common phenomenon under certain conditions. It
9、is gener-ally known that differences in the environment, lighting,temperature, substrate, and other factors in addition to thecoating composition affect the susceptibility of a given paintedsurface. This test method attempts to provide a means tocomparatively evaluate different coating formulations
10、for theirrelative performance under a given set of conditions. It doesnot imply that a coating that resists growth under theseconditions will necessarily resist growth in the actual applica-tion (see Note 1).4.2 Familiarity with microbiological techniques is required.This test method should not be u
11、sed by persons without at leastbasic microbiological training.5.

Pipetthe suspension into a sterile 250-mL glass Erlenmeyer flask.Repeat for all the cultures by pipetting into the same flask (tryto obtain approximately equal amounts of each species, andabout the same tota
34、l amount between runs of this test methodto make correlation of data between test runs easier). Bring themixed volume of suspension up to 100 mL with sterile water.Retain for later use as inoculum in 8.1.NOTE 3The previous procedure gives a mixed inoculum. Alterna-tively, each sample could be inocul
35、ated separately with individual culturesas agreed upon between the parties involved.7. Preparation of Test Specimens7.1 A set of coatings to be tested should contain a controlpaint without algicide (blank). If available, a formulationknown to perform satisfactorily in this test method should alsobe
36、included.Aset of paper filter disks or the draw-down paperswithout coating may be suitable growth controls (see 5.7).7.2 Handle the disks or drawdown sections with steriletongs or tweezers.NOTE 4Sterilization or aseptic handling of the test material, or both,avoids bacterial or other contamination t
37、hat may interfere with the testresults.7.3 Coatings to be tested will be applied to the chosen testsubstrate (5.7) by brush coating the strips of drawdownpaperboard or filter disks with each sample in duplicate. Takecare to apply a thin, even coating with the same thickness forall coating samples.NO
38、TE 5One or both sides of the substrate (drawdown strips or filterpaper) may be coated as agreed upon between the parties involved.NOTE 6With the drawdown strips, this can be conveniently accom-plished by punching a hole in the top of the strip and suspending the stripfrom a drying rack with string o
39、r a twist tie. The label for each strip canbe written in the top 12.7 mm (12 in.) of the strip (near the hole) and thecoating applied below that 12.7-mm strip. Another 12.7-mm area can beleft uncoated at the bottom of the strip to permit holding the strip whilebrushing. This would still leave suffic
40、ient coated area for six 28 by 28-mm(1.1 by 1.1-in.) test squares from each strip. With the filter disks, a holecan be punched near the edge of the disk.7.4 After application, suspend the sample disks or stripsfrom drying racks and allow them to air dry for 24 to 72 h atroom temperature.7.5 When acc
41、elerated weathering, heat aging, or otherpreconditioning of samples is to be done, a minimum of 2additional test pieces must be prepared from each coating foreach type of preconditioning used. The results from thepreconditioned samples may be compared with those from theunconditioned samples.NOTE 7T
42、here are a variety of methods that can be used to simulateaccelerated effects of weathering (sunlight or rain, or both), on thesamples. For example, a leach test that is frequently used to simulate theeffects of rainwater (an important factor for algae growth) is outlined inNote 8. Conditioning of s
43、pecimens by artificial weathering can be doneaccording to one of the following practices: D 822, D 4141, D 4587,D 5031,orD 6695. These practices use very different test conditions andmay be expected to produce different test results. Therefor, they cannot beused interchangeably unless equivalency of
44、 test results is demonstrated.NOTE 8A leaching test may be conducted as follows. One of thereplicate sets is leached with distilled water for 24 h, then allowed to airdry. The coated substrate can be leached by suspension for 24 h in 4-L(1-gal) containers of distilled water with a flow rate such tha
45、t there are sixchanges in 24 h (or other flow rate as agreed upon between the partiesinvolved). Note differences in the integrity of the coatings after thisleaching. The test panels are then air dried for 24 h under the sameconditions as the unleached samples, as in 7.4.7.6 If the drawdown strips ar
46、e being used, cut them intoroughly 28-mm (1.1-in.) squares. Place these specimensquares, or the coated filter disks, on the center of pre-pouredAllens (or appropriatesee 6.6) agar plates. The plates shouldbe prepared at least 24 h in advance, but no longer than oneweek. If the plates were stored in
47、the refrigerator, allow themto equilibrate to room temperature prior to placement of thesamples.8. Procedure8.1 Inoculation of the Test Specimens:8.1.1 Place test specimens in the center of solidified Allens(or appropriate) Agar plates. If drawdown strips are used, firstcut into 28-mm (1.1-in.) squa

Also, be certain the amount of inoculum appli
49、edis the same between the various samples under test (this shouldbe done by the same applicator at the same time for allsamples).8.1.4 Transfer the inoculated plates to an incubator with aconstant fluorescent light source, humidity $85 %, and atemperature setting to maintain 25 6 2C.NOTE 9If the capability is available, a cycle of 14-h light and 10-hdarkness can improve the growth of the algae.8.1.5 Incubate the samples under the specified conditionsjust stated and examine weekly for growth.
