ASTM D 4062 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Leveling of Paints by Draw-Down Method
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 1999
Scope:
This test method(footnote 2)covers the laboratory determination of the relative
leveling of water and
solvent-reducible architectural paints in white and light tints by
comparing the ridges produced in
a draw-down film to a series of plastic leveling standards.
Unpigmented, texture, and deep-tint coatings cannot be readily
evaluated with the shadowing
produced by oblique lighting employed in this test method. Such
coatings may be rated by comparing
them with the plastic standards at various angles of reflection. For
this purpose ordinary room
lighting is satisfactory.
Since other factors may influence the tendency of liquid paints to
sag, this test method is not
intended to measure sagging.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses
are for information only.
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 and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
Footnote 2 - This test method was essentially developed by the Leneta Company as outlined in Leneta Catalog No. 3, pp. 26-7 (1976).
