This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, and conflicting national standards withdrawn, by September 1995 at the latest In accordance with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greace, Iceland, Irland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Endorsement notice The text of the Intemational Standard ISO 1617:1973 was approved by CEN as a European Standard without any modifica~ tion, NOTE: Normative references to international publications are listed in Annex ZA (normative) © INTRODUCTION ‘This International Standard is one of a series dealing with ‘the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products, It should be read in conjunction with ISO 1512, 180 1513 and 1SO 1514. ‘The method of test specified requires to be completed, for ‘any particular application, by the following supplementary information, This information should be derived from the national standard or other document for the material under test or, where appropriate, should be the subject of agreement between the interested parties. a) Nature and surface preparation of substrate 'b) Method of application of test costing to substrate. ©) Thickness, in micrometres, of the dry coating, including method of measurement, and whether it is a single coating or a multicoat system, 4) Duration and conditions of drying of primer and/or undercoat before testing ©) Duration of drying before testing, if applicable. 1. SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION 1.1. This International Standard specifies a method for determining the surface-drying characteristics of a coating ff a paint or varnish which dries by the action of air or by chemical reaction of its components. ‘The method is not intended to apply to stoving products, 1.2. The method described may be carried out either as a “go/no go" test, by determining the surfacedrying state after 9 specified time, to assess compliance with a particular requirement, for by determining the surfacedrying state at suitable intervals until the surface-drying time is obtained. 2 REFERENCES 180 1812, Paints and varnishes ~ Sampling. 180 1813, Paints and varnishes — Examination and preparation of samples for testing 180 1814, Paints and varnishes — Standard panels for testing. 180 2808, Paints and varnishes — Determination of film thickness. 3. DEFINITIONS 3.1. surface-drying state : General term describing the state of the surface of a coating of paint or varnish, i.e. whether “surface-dry” or not. 3.2 surface-dry : Surface-drying state of a coating of paint (oF varnish when ballotini can be lightly brushed away without damaging the surface of the coating. 3.3. surtece-drying time : Period of time between that at Which @ coating of paint or varnish is applied to a prepared test panel and that at which the coating is assessed as just surface-dry by the test procedure specified in clause 7 4 APPARATUS 4.1. Ballotini (small transparent glass spheres). The material shall be obtained by sieving from a suitable ‘commercial grade of bellotini and shall be graded so that none passes a sieve of nominal mesh aperture 125 yim and all passes a sieve of nominal mesh aperture 250 ym. 42. Brush, softhaired. 43 Stop-wateh or stop-clock.8 SAMPLING ‘A representative sample of the product to be tested shall be taken as specified in 1801512. The samples shall be ‘and prepared for testing as specified in ISO 1513. 6 TEST PANELS 6.1. Material and surface preparation Unless otherwise specified or agreed, the test panel shall be ‘of glass, burnished steel, burnished tinplate or burnished aluminium complying with the requirements of ISO 1514, and the surface shall be prepared for painting as spetified therein 6.2 Coating the panet 6.2.1 If required, the test panel shall be coated with the appropriate primer and/or undercoat and allowed to dry for, ‘an agreed period before applying the product under test 62.2 The test panel shall be costed with the product, under test by the specified or agreed method of application. 7 PROCEDURE 7.1. Drying the test panel Allow the coated test panel to dry in a vertical position, Shielded from air currents, in the absence of direct sunlight and under ambient conditions of 232°C and 505% relative humidity, unless otherwise stated. 7.2 Assessment of surface-drying state after @ specified time 7.2.1 After the completion of the specified time, place the ‘est panel in a horizontal position. 7.2.2 Pour approximately 0,5 9 of the ballotini (4.1) onto the surface of the coating from a height of not less that '50 mm and not more than 150 mm. NOTE ~ Ite convenient to pour the balotini down a glass tube of sopropriate length and with on internal diameter of approximately 2mm, inorder to avoid undue spreading of the balfotini and thus able further tests to be made, if necessary, on other areas of the Same pane! Page 3 EN ISO 1517:1995 723 After 10's, hold the panel at an angle of 20° to the horizontal and brush the coating lightly, 7.2.4 Examine the surtace of the coating, using normal corrected vision. The coating is “surfacedry” if all the ballotini can be brushed away without damage to the surface, 7.3. Determination of surface-drying time Prepare a number of similar coated test panels as specified jn clause 6 and allow to dry as specified in 7.1. At ‘appropriate intervals, starting shortly before the coating is expected to be surfacedry and using a different panel for each test (or an untouched area of the same panel, if the ‘tube described in the Note to 7.2.2 is used) carry out the ‘test as specified in 7.2 until the test shows the coating to be surfacedry. Record the time taken for the coating to become just surface-dry. 7.4 Determination of thickness of coating Determine the thickness, in micrometres, of the dry coating by the method specified, using one of the procedures specified in 1SO 2808, 8 TEST REPORT ‘The test report shall include the following information = a) a reference to this International Standard or to a corresponding national standard; b) the type and identification of the product under test; c) the items of supplementary information referred to in the Introduction to this International Standard; 1d) the national standard or other document supplying the information referred to in c} above; e) any deviation, by agreement or otherwise, from the test procedure specified; 4). the result of the test; report, as required. — either whether or not the coating was “surface-dry” after the specified time, = or the “surface-drying tim 9) the date of the test.Page 4 EN ISO 1517:1995 Annex ZA (normative) Normative references to international publications their relevant European publications This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
