Summary of Test Method4
6、.1 This test method utilizes a condensation test chamber todetermine the tannin stain resistance of latex paints. The testpaints are applied to substrates that contain tannin extractivesand are placed on or in the test chamber. CIELAB L* and b*values as well as subjective ratings are recorded after
7、exposure.5. Significance and Use5.1 Tannins and other chromophoric extractives are natu-rally occurring materials in wood and wood-based substrates.Tannins are prevalent to a high degree in cedar, redwood, oakand to a lesser degree in white and yellow pine. Tannins arealso present in varying amounts
8、 in wood composition products.These extractives are solubilized and darkened in color byaqueous coatings, resulting in unsightly yellow or browndiscolorations. This test method is designed to show therelative ability of paints to prevent tannin bleed-through.Typically cedar or redwood panels are use

Apparatus6.1 Test Chamber, as described in Practice D 4585.6.2 Test Substrate, 2.4 by 19.2 cm (6 by 48 in.) substrate orof a size agreed upon by the purchaser and seller of the coatingbeing tested.6.3 Paint Brush, nylon/polyester brush of good quality.6.4 Spectrophotometer.6.5 Ele

Reagents and Materials7.1 Wood PanelsSuch as cedar, redwood, oak, white pine,yellow pine or other substrate as agreed upon between thepurchaser and the seller of the coating being tested.7.2 Control P
11、aintAn agreed-upon paint of known tanninstain resistance.7.3 Test PaintsSince there are no standard panels, photo-graphs, or paints for this test method, an agreed-upon controlpaint (7.2) should be included as one of the test paints.8. Procedure8.1 Choose a substrate with a consistent grain pattern.
12、Patterns vary greatly from panel to panel, so try to select aboard that has consistent wood grain across the length of thesubstrate. Results may vary from panel to panel because ofdifferent growth rates, grain angles, colors and species ofwood. If necessary, panels may be sanded to remove raisedgrai
13、n. Substrates with areas of rough spots should be avoided,as they will bleed through more readily. Divide substrate intostrips at least 2.4 cm (6 in.) wide or as agreed upon between thepurchaser and the seller and label the back of each test areawith paint designation. The control paint should be pl

The backside of the panels must also be primed if thepanels are to be placed fully inside the chamber.8.5 Measure the density of the test paint in accordance withTest Method D 1475, and then usin
17、g a brush, apply sufficientweight of test paints to achieve the desired spreading rate.Since dry time is critical, paints should be applied as quickly aspossible, so that the average dry time is as close to the specifieddry time as possible for each test paint. If a second coat (selfprimed) is to be
18、 applied, allow the first coat to dry in theconditioned room for four h (dry time may affect results) or asagreed upon between the purchaser and seller. If appropriate,apply second coat or topcoat over the entire substrate withenough grams to achieve the desired spread rate. Stain block-ing is highl
19、y dependent of film thickness; therefore, it isessential that the test paints be weighed on accurately, particu-larly for small test areas. The amount of paint in grams requiredfor a specific spread rate can be determined from the followingequation:g 5 A*W!/S!*3.15where:A = area, square inches,W = w
20、eight per gallon, lb./gal, andS = spreading rate, square feet/gal.Or the following metric equation:g 5 Am*D!/Sm!*1000where:Am= area, square meters,D = density, g/mL or kg/L, andSm= spreading rate, square meters/L.8.6 Allow the panels to dry in the conditioned room for 246 1 h (dry time may affect re
21、sults) or as agreed upon betweenthe purchaser and seller. Immediately place the panels on thechamber with the painted sides facing toward the humidity orplace backprimed panels fully inside the chamber if agreedupon between the purchaser and seller. All panels should be runsimilarly. If the panels a
22、re placed on the chamber, fill all spacesin the specimen rack with test boards or blanks. Close allcracks between boards to prevent water vapor loss and tem-perature variation. Larger cracks may be closed with tape ormetal strips. If the panels are placed inside the chamber, makesure panels are plac
23、ed at an angle to avoid water spotting andrun off onto the test areas.8.7 Adjust the thermostat to maintain the desired tempera-ture of the saturated air and water vapor mixture. Cabinettemperature of 39C (100F) is suggested. To ensure adequatecondensation on face down panels, maintain at least a 11
24、C(20F) temperature differential between the room and theinside of the chamber.8.8 After 16 6 1 h, or an exposure time agreed uponbetween the purchaser and seller, carefully remove the panelsand allow to dry for 24 h.8.9 Quantitatively rate each paint using the ASTM ScoringSystem 0-10 with 10 being n

Lower b* values generally indicate better tanninblock resistance. Higher b* values indicate a yellower orbrowner color. L* values, measuring white
26、ness versus dark-ness, are also important. Significant differences in either L* orb* values is 0.5 units. Five readings per test area should betaken, ranging from the top portion to the bottom part, andaveraged together. The average of multiple measurementsshould minimize differences in grain patter
27、n. Readings shouldnot be taken over any obvious defect which is not a truereflection of the test area, such as a knot or any other defect.9.
