Short description
1.1 This guide is intended to aid in the selection of the proper ASTM standard for determining the volatile and nonvolatile content of paint and related coatings. Note 1: Test methods for determining the composition of the volatile fraction are not covered by this guide. 1.2 The standards included are as follows: Type of Coating Section ASTM Designation Aerosol coatings water 4.1 D5325 Aerosol coatings solvent 4.1 D5200 Architectural wall coatings, interior, high performance 4.3 D1644 Coil coatings 4.8 D1353 , D2697 Electrical insulation varnishes 4.9 D115 House paints, gloss (by volume) (by weight) D2697 , D2369 Industrial baking enamel (by volume) (by weight) D2697 , D2369 Inks, sheet-fed and coldest web offset printing 4.19 D6419 Irregular or porous coatings, clear and pigmented (by volume) 4.20 D6093 Lacquers, clear and pigmented 4.11 D1644 , D333 Latex paint, exterior (by volume) (by weight) D2697 , D2369 Latex paint, interior (by volume) (by weight) D2697 , D2369 Low VOC paints or coatings 4.4 D6886 Magnet wire enamels 4.12 D3288 Multi-component coatings, waterborne, solventborne, and > 90 % solids 4.5 D2369 , D7768 Phenolic coatings, cure water producing 4.6 D7245 Plastics, coatings for 4.13 D1644 Powder coatings 4.14 D3451 Radiation curable coatings 4.7 D5403 , D7767 Silanes, Siloxanes and Silane-Siloxane Blends 4.18 D5095 Solvent-reducible coatings (by weight) 4.2 D2369 Traffic paints 4.15 D2205 Varnishes 4.16 D1644 Wall and trim enamels, interior semigloss, solvent-based (by volume) (by weight) 4.17 D2697 , D2369 , D6886 Wall paints, flat (by volume) (by weight) 4.10 D2697 , D2369 , D6886 Water-reducible coatings (by weight) 4.2 D2369 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee....
