METHOD FOR ACCELERATED STORAGE STABILITY TEST

E-l PROCEDURE there shall be no evidence of seeding. The paint

Store the paint sample in a closed 500-ml con-
tainer and keep at 60°C for 96 hours. After the
test paint shall not gel, liver, curdle or increase
in efflux time by more than 20 percent. and
shall meet the drying time requirement and shall
produce dry film that is uniform in appearance
and free from streaking, mottling and seediness.
Further, the change in gloss value from the
original shall not be more than 5 units.
