Significance and Use | ||||||||||||||||||||
4.1?This test method is the procedure of choice for determining volatiles in coatings for the purpose of calculating the volatile organic content in coatings under specified test conditions. The weight percent solids content (nonvolatile matter) may be determined by difference. This information is useful to the paint producer and user and to environmental interests for determining the volatiles emitted by coatings. |

1. Scope | ||||||||||||||||||||
1.1?This test method describes a procedure for the determination of the weight percent volatile content of solventborne and waterborne coatings. Test specimens are heated at 110 ? 5?C for 60 min. Note 1:?The coatings used in these round-robin studies
represented air-dried, air-dried oxidizing, heat-cured baking
systems, and also included multicomponent paint systems.
1.2?Sixty minutes at 110 ? 5?C is a general purpose test method based on the precision obtained with both solventborne and waterborne coatings (see Section 9). 1.3?This test method is viable for coatings wherein one or more parts may, at ambient conditions, contain liquid coreactants that are volatile until a chemical reaction has occurred with another component of the multi-package system. Note 2:?Committee D01 has run round-robin studies on volatiles
of multicomponent paint systems. The only change in procedure is to
premix the weighed components in the correct proportions and allow
the specimens to stand at room temperature for 1 h prior to placing
them into the oven.
1.4?Test Method D5095 for Determination of the Nonvolatile Content in Silanes, Siloxanes and Silane-Siloxane Blends Used in Masonry Water Repellent Treatments is the standard method for nonvolatile content of these types of materials. 1.5?Test Methods D5403 for Volatile Content of Radiation Curable Materials is the standard method for determining nonvolatile content of radiation curable coatings, inks and adhesives. 1.6?Test Method D6419 for Volatile Content of Sheet-Fed and Coldset Web Offset Printing Inks is the method of choice for these types of printing inks. 1.7?This test method may not be applicable to all types of coatings. Other procedures may be substituted with mutual agreement between the producer and the user. Note 3:?If unusual decomposition or degradation of the
specimen occurs during heating, the actual time and temperature
used to cure the coating in practice may be substituted for the
time and temperature specified in this test method, subject to
mutual agreement between the producer and the user. The U.S. EPA
Reference Method 24 specifies 110 ? 5?C for 1 h for
coatings.
Note 4:?Practice D3960
for Determining Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content of Paints
and Related Coatings describes procedures and calculations and
provides guidance on selecting test methods to determine VOC
content of solventborne and waterborne coatings.
1.8?The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.9?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. 1.10?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. |
