GENERAL INFORMATION The information given below is provided for clarification and assistance in meeting the requiremen
27、ts of these specifications. 5.1 WEIGHT OF COATING In order to meet the physical requirements outlined in these specifications, the desired coating weight shall be 1 oz/yd2 *34 g/m) Test Method Weight 3 conditioned 4 x 4 in (100 x 100 mm) die cut test specimens. Thoroughly saturate the coated surface
28、 with ethyl acetate*. Wipe off the coating with saturated cotton swabs until all coating is removed. Allow the test specimens to dry and recondition at 23 +/- 2 C for 24 h. Reweigh specimens and compute the average weight of the coating on a square yard (square meter) basis. *Other solvents may be used, if required.
