1、Designation: D7786 12Standard 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.

Reagents and Materials7.1 Substrate Desired for TestingThe preferred substrateshould have a uniform flat surface to enable paint films to beapplied with the preferred drawdown bar applicator. Unless
17、otherwise 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 often necessitates thechoice of an alternate applicator such as brush, roller or
18、 spray.7.2 Standard PaintsThe topcoat will be a mutually agreedupon standard topcoat. Unless otherwise agreed, use a com-mercially available latex topcoat which yields a gloss between40 and 55 when applied in accordance with 9.2.8. Hazards8.1 The user of this test method should refer to appropriateM

Procedure9.1 Application of primer (or other primary coating) andtopcoat.9.1.1 Apply the primer onto the selected substrate using thefilm applicator across the full le

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 environmentfor an appropriate period of time for the primer that has beenapplied. Ref

22、75 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 topcoat application while ensuring that thedrawdown bar can travel a uniform pat

Precision and Bias312.1 The precision of this test method is based on asingle-laboratory study
30、of Test Method D7786, Test Methodfor Determining Enamel Holdout, conducted in 2011. Thelaboratory tested three different primers, paired with a singlesemigloss topcoat. Every “test result” reported represents theaverage of three individual determinations. Five test results3Supporting data have been
31、filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:D01-1161.FIG. 1 Diagram of Perpendicular Drawdown TechniqueD7786 122were reported for each material combination. Except for theuse of only a single laboratory, Practice E691 was followed forthe design and an
32、alysis of the data; the details are given inASTM Research Report No. D011161.12.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material; “r”istheinterval representing the critical difference b

36、 in this ILS must not be treated as exact mathematicalquantities which are applicable to all circumstances and uses.The limited number of materials tested and the use of data fromjust a single reporting laboratory results guarantees that therewill be times when differences greater than predicted by
37、theILS results will arise, sometimes with considerably greater orsmall frequency than the 95 % probability limit would imply.The repeatability limit and the reproducibility limit should beconsidered as general guides, and the associated probability of95 % as only a rough indicator of what can be exp
38、ected.12.2 BiasAt the time of the study, there was no acceptedreference material suitable for determining the bias for this testmethod, therefore no statement on bias is being made.12.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 40 results from one laboratory; threepr

40、 are reported for thesingle-laboratory study.12.4.1 All films were cast using a 3 mil Bird drawdownapplicator on smooth nonporous drawdown cards (LenetaForm WB). A vacuum plate was used to secure the drawdowncharts.12.4.2 One coat of topcoat was applied.12.4.3 The test paints are identified as Test
