New Test Method for Standard Test Method for Comparative Hiding of Liquid Coatings using Contrast Ratio

1. Scope

Test method to determine comparative hiding power for paints and coatings.

Keywords

Contrast Ratio; Hiding; Reflectometry; Paints and Coatings

Rationale

There is a good existing method D2805 for hiding power using Reflectometry, but it is time consuming to run. The industry in general uses a basic contrast ratio method extensively, but there is no ASTM method mirroring this common practice. Thus I think this is a gap that should be filled.

The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
