1、Designation: D7786 13Standard Test Method forDetermining Enamel Holdout1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7786; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses i
2、ndicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This standard provides a method for determining theholdout characteristics of a primer and topcoat coating appli-cation. A standard topcoat is used to determi
3、ne the absorptioncharacteristics of a primer. Enamel holdout can be measured asa difference in observed gloss of the topcoat over a primer,relative to the gloss of the same topcoat over a non-poroussmooth surface.1.2 The standard is written in the context that the user willbe evaluating the enamel h
4、oldout characteristics of a primer.Alternatively, the standard may be used as a method to evaluatethe enamel holdout characteristics of primer/topcoat systemwhere the primer is constant and different topcoats are used astest paints.1.3 This standard may also be used for evaluation of paintsother tha
5、n primers as the first coat. In this alteration the usercan test the enamel holdout characteristics of a self primedtopcoat, or use of any other type of paint as the primer followedby the use of a standard topcoat.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of mea
6、surement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory li

10、end user.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A substrate, preferably a non-porous smooth drawdowncard, is coated using a test primer and allowed to dry. Theprimer-coated substrate is then coated with the standard top-coat and allowed to dry (primed topcoat).4.2 A non-porous smooth substrate is coated using
11、 only thestandard topcoat and allowed to dry (unprimed topcoat).4.3 Gloss measurements are taken over the primed topcoatand also over the unprimed topcoat. The difference in the glossreading between the primed topcoat system and unprimedtopcoat system is an indication of enamel holdout. Smallerdiffe
12、rences indicate better enamel holdout.5. Significance and Use5.1 This standard may be used by paint companies and rawmaterial suppliers to assess the interactions of primers andtopcoats with respect to their ability to provide good enamelholdout. Primer/topcoat systems with the best enamel holdoutwi
13、ll result in desirable gloss in the first coat of topcoatapplication.6.

Reagents and Materials7.1 Substrate Desired for TestingThe preferred substrateshould have a uniform flat surface to ena
17、ble paint films to beapplied with the preferred drawdown bar applicator. Unlessotherwise agreed upon, a non-porous smooth drawdown card isused. Other commonly used substrates include: gypsum panel,wood or drawdown cards with non-porous and porous sections.The choice to use an alternative substrate o

Hazards8.1 The user of this test method should refer to appropriateMSDS for hazards associated with handling and disposal ofpaint samples or other laboratory items used as specified in thisstandard.9. Procedure9.1 Application of primer (or other primary coating) andtopcoat.9.1.1 Apply the
20、 primer onto the selected substrate using thefilm applicator across the full length of the drawdown card oralternative substrate. Refer to Practices D823, for the proce-dure and information related to the application of films withuniform thickness.9.1.2 Allow the primer to dry in a controlled enviro
21、nmentfor an appropriate period of time for the primer that has beenapplied. Refer to Test Methods D1640 for the procedure andinformation related to drying, curing, or film formation oforganic coatings at room temperature. Report the environmen-tal condition (C, %RH) and dry time interval.9.1.3 Using
22、 a film applicator capable of applying a wet filmthickness of approximately 0.075 mm (3 mils), apply thestandard topcoat on top of the dried primer coat from step9.1.1. Casting the topcoat in a direction perpendicular to theprimer coat will allow the use of a single drawdown bar forboth primer and t
23、opcoat application while ensuring that thedrawdown bar can travel a uniform path across the primer coat(Fig. 1).9.1.4 Allow the topcoat to dry in a controlled environmentfor an appropriate period of time for the topcoat that has beenapplied.

This applicationshould be made at a similar time as the topcoat in
25、step 9.1.3.9.2.2 Allow the topcoat from step 9.2.1 to dry in a con-trolled environment for an appropriate period of time for thetopcoat that has been applied. This environment and dry timeshould be the same as in step 9.1.4. Report the environmentalcondition (C, %RH) and dry time interval.9.3 Gloss
26、measurement:9.3.1 Measure the gloss of the topcoat on both the primer/topcoat card and the unprimed card. Refer to Test MethodD523 for the procedure and information related to measuringgloss.9.3.2 Record the average of three readings from each chart.If the 60 gloss of the unprimed topcoat is greater
27、 than 80 glossunits, use the 20 gloss reading; otherwise use the 60 glossreading.10.

30、ation method and enamel holdout result.12. Precision and Bias312.1 The precision of this test method is based on an interlaboratory study of ASTM D7786, Test Method for Determin-ing Enamel Holdout, conducted in 2012. Each of ten labora-tories tested one topcoat and three different primers for enamel
31、holdout. Every “test result” represents an individual determi-nation and all participants were asked to report five replicatetest results for each analysis. Practice E691 was followed forthe design and analysis of the data; the details are given inASTM Research Report No. RR:D01-1174.12.1.1 Repeatab
