LENETA LEVELING TEST BLADE
Used in ASTM D4062 Test method for "Leveling of Paints by Drawdown Method"
NO. LTB-2
This is a threaded steel rod that functions as a
grooved doctor blade at any part of its circumference.
It produces a film with parallel ridges and valleys
in simulation of brush marks. Critical dimensions
are indicated in Fig. 2. Plastic arms, in conjunction
with straightedge guides, assure rectilinear movement of the blade. Test advantages compared with
brushout application are speed, reproducibility, and
a regular surface pattern that facilitates evaluation.
It has been demonstrated that the leveling of films
Fig. 1 Leneta Leveling Test Blade
prepared in this manner correlates very well with
brushout leveling.
The diagram shows alternate clearances, in equal
width, of 300 and 100 µm (12 and 4 mils). Since
the wet film thickness laid down by a doctor blade
is about half its clearance, it can be expected that
the Leneta Leveling Test Blade will apply alternate
stripes about 150 and 50 µm (6 and 2 mils) thick.
Fig. 2. Details from the engineering drawing Thus the amplitude of the square wave formed at the
instant of application will be approximately 50 µm (2 mils) and the approximate average wet
film thickness will be 100µm (4 mils). The latter value multiplied by the nonvolatile fraction
by volume, gives the equivalent dry film thickness. See instructions in this section.
LENETA DRAWDOWN LEVELNESS STANDARDS
No. LS-2 • ASTM D 4062
Evaluation of drawdowns prepared with
the Leneta Leveling Test Blade is readily
accomplished by visual comparison with
Leneta Drawdown Levelness Standards.
The method is fast and simple, and gives
numerical values that have intrinsic and
practical significance.
The Standards are 3-dimensional true scale

Leveling Test Blade, using a series of nine
paints ranging from extremely poor to good leveling. The primary replications are on durable
metal plates from which duplicates are pressed in the form of 3 x 5 in.(76 x 125 mm) white
vinyl panels. They are numbered 1 through 9 from poorest to best leveling. Perfect leveling
is 10 and poorer than 1 is Zero. The number of the matching standard is the Leveling Value
of the paint. Further information with the regard to the significance of these values is provided
in section 9 of the appendix following this section.

LENETA LEVELING TEST DRAWDOWN PLATE
No. DP-2
Fig. 1 Application w/ the Leneta Leveling Test Blade.
Illustrates use of drawdown Plate and Catch-Papers,
designed for this operation.
Proper use of the Leneta Leveling Test Blade requires that it
be drawn down rapidly using a considerable amount of paint.
Under these conditions it is difficult to maintain rectilinear
blade movement so that the ridge lines will be straight, or
to confine the surplus paint in order to minimize the task
of cleaning up. This special drawdown plate is designed
to accomplish these objectives by means of straight-edge
guides and other positioning elements and is recommended
for that purpose in ASTM Method D4062. See instructions
in this section.
“CATCH-PAPERS” No. CP-2
These thin lacquered sheets are for catching surplus paint at the end of the drawdown. This form was
designed specifically for use with the Leneta Leveling Test Drawdown Plate, being cut to size and hole
punched accurately for that purpose.

This is a drawdown blade with five pairs of successively
shallower notches, whereby leveling is rated according
to the separation or merger of the corresponding pairs
of stripes. It was developed by the New York Society
for Coatings Technology (NYPC = New York Paint
Club) and has the distinction of being the first practical laboratory device to provide numerical values for
leveling. Its use is mandatory in many U.S. government
specifications. In recent years, it has been subjected to
criticism in connection with emulsion paints, which has
caused a shift in preference toward the newer leveling
test blade. Nevertheless it has and will undoubtedly
continue to perform valuable service.

characteristic is the provision of an applicator path with
a considerable length of black in the middle. Thus by
making the test observation only over the black area
there is automatic compliance with the test procedure

LENETA DRAWDOWN PLATES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: A glass clipboard is set firmly on a phenolic plastic panel and
the whole apparatus is mounted on rubber bumpers to prevent sliding while in use. The
drawdown surface is 6mm (1/4 inch) thick polished glass, equal in planarity to fine mirror
glass. A steel clip holds the test chart or panel steady while the drawdown is made. These
devices provide economical and convenient means for making drawdowns of uniform film
thickness. In some cases they are superior to vacuum plates. They are easy to use, easy to
keep clean, and will be found extremely helpful in every paint and coatings laboratory.

These are thin lacquered papers that are placed under the bottom edge of a chart or panel
to catch the surplus paint at completion of a drawdown, as shown in the preceding figures.
Their sealed surface facilitates clean-up by preventing fast dry-out of paint on the applicator.
Avoidance of this condition is of special importance when applying emulsion paints with
multi-grooved applicators for sag or leveling tests. Such instruments present a particularly
difficult cleaning problem, and must be kept scrupulously clean for accurate results.

APPLICATION
PRE-SHEAR METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Practical methods for applying coatings develop high shear rates and stresses that strongly
influence the degree of sagging and leveling. Since drawdown blades for measuring these
characteristics develop relatively low rates of shear, they require that coatings be “Pre-Sheared”
to simulate practical application. This can be accomplished by rapid mechanical mixing,
or by forcing the liquid through a suitable hypodermic syringe and needle. In general, the
former is advisable with solvent type and the latter with aqueous coatings. Following is
a description of specific equipment and procedures that have been found satisfactory in
this connection.
I – PRE-SHEAR by RAPID MIXING – SOLVENT COATINGS
A. Equipment:
B. Procedure:
(1) Rotary power mixer, capable of 1300 and/or 3600 rpm
(2) Mixing can–Pint (500 mL) conventional paint can
(3) Mixing can–175 mL, Item No. PS-2
(1) Stir coating thoroughly with a spatula. Strain if necessary.
(2) Fill the mixing can approximately half.
(3) Attach the mixing paddle to the rotary power mixer.
(4) Set speed at 1300 rpm for the 175 mL can or 3600 rpm for the 500 mL (pint) can.
(5) Position paddle about 1/4 inches (6mm) from bottom of can.
(6) Mix 1 minute then promptly place about 8 mL of paint in front of the drawdown blade.
II – PRE-SHEAR with SYRINGE AND NEEDLE – AQUEOUS COATINGS
A. Equipment:
B. Procedure:
(1) 10 mL Luer-Lok syringe, Item No. PS-3
(2) 15 gage Luer-Lok syringe needle, Item No. PS-5
(3) Syringe extension tubing, Item No. PS-6
(1) Stir coating thoroughly with a spatula. Strain if necessary.
(2) Cut a 2 inch (50 mm) length of extension tubing and attach to syringe.
(3) Press the syringe barrel firmly to expel air. Dip the end of
the extension tube into the coating, pump slightly to expel
remaining air, then withdraw 8 mL of coating.
(4) Remove the extension tubing and attach a syringe needle.
(5) Eject the contents of the syringe in front of the applicator speedily, employing steady and very strong pressure.

These are reference standards prepared by applying white emulsion paints on black scrub test panels.
The films are indefinitely stable, and for each type the panels are essentially identical. They are used
as controls in the measurement of scrub resistance, to obtain Calibration Ratings that normalize the
wide variations often encountered for undefined reasons, among laboratories using the same scrub
test method.

FORM RP-1K
Thickness: 5 mils (0.13 mm)
Size: 8-5/8 x 11-1/4"(219 x 286 mm)
This paper is smooth-surfaced and sealed on both sides, one side being glossy and
the other matte. The glossy side has a silicone finish with a balanced release characteristic that avoids excessive crawling with solvent or water dispersed coatings
while permitting easy stripping of dried films. It is recommended for ASTM D 2370,
D 4708, D 1653 and other free-film test methods.
ALU-CARDS
ALUMINUM FOIL – PAPERBOARD PANELS
These are low cost metallic substrates to replace expensive solid metal panels where primary interest is
in surface appearance. The test surface has a high metallic lustre. The cards are 18 mils thick and have
a 1/4 inch (6 mm) hole punched at one end. In addition to lower cost, a major advantage over regular
metal panels is that they are much lighter in weight3 and therefore much more conveniently stored.

THE LENETA MAGNETIC SPRAY STAND (ITEM NO. SS-1)
Laboratory spray stands are often unsteady devices, thickly coated with overspray. The Leneta Magnetic
Spray Stand provides stability, tidiness, and general convenience. Its design is simple: two small, but
powerful, pot magnets are mounted at one end of a curved steel rod. The other end of the rod is screwed
into a heavy steel base. Overall height is approximately thirteen inches. Steel panels 6 x 12 inches
and larger are held firmly during spraying and then easily removed. The magnets remain clean, being
protected from over-spray by the panel. Other parts of the device are readily cleaned by soaking in paint
remover or caustic solution.

These are pressure-sensitive
labels with a hiding power
test pattern and a sealed,
solvent-resistant surface.
They are for use in conjunction with metal panels
and other substrates where
uniform surface appearance
provides no visual clues as to the thickness of an
applied paint film. When placed on such a test
surface the Monitor presents a contrasting feature by
which to observe the hiding during spray application,
thereby facilitating film thickness control. It adheres
firmly whether air-dried or baked, thus presenting a
permanent visual record of film opacity.

LENETA PAPER-TESTING INKS
For Evaluating Mottle, Holdout and Porosity of Coated and Uncoated Papers
PC-TK-11: High Penetration for Coated Papers
PC-TK-21: Low Penetration for Uncoated Papers
These testing inks provide a simple and rapid way of monitoring batch-tobatch variations in paper structure and porosity. Inks of both high and low
penetrations are required because the penetration quality of the ink must
be appropriate to the holdout of the paper surface being tested. Coated
papers, being relatively high in holdout, require a high penetration ink to
obtain a sufficiently strong color and mottle pattern. Uncoated papers,
being low in holdout, require a low penetration ink to avoid excessively
strong color that would overwhelm any mottle or holdout distinctions.

LENETA ASTM SCRUB & STAINING MEDIA
Leneta-ASTM Scrub Media
WA-SC-1: Non-Abrasive Type used in ASTM Method D 3450, Test for Washability Properties
WA-SC-2: Abrasive Type used in ASTM Method D 2486, D 4213 and D 3450 Scrub Resistance and
Washability Tests
These are aqueous dispersions of detergent, cellulosic thickener and
preservative, made in conformance with and approved for use in the indicated ASTM methods. The abrasive type contains ground silica for accelerated erosion. The two compounds are representative of the detergent
and abrasive character of commercial cleaning products. Because of the
variable nature of their ingredients, The Leneta Company provides media
adjusted and tested to assure batch-to-batch uniformity. Each container
is fully identified by batch number and shipping date. The contents of
unopened containers are guaranteed standard in performance for a year,
which is highly conservative on the basis of observed package stability.
PC-ST-1: Pigmented Type used in ASTM Method D 3450, Test for Washability Properties
This is a finely ground dispersion of high jet carbon black in a blend of mineral oil
and odorless mineral spirits. It is specified in ASTM D 3450 to meet the laboratory
requirement for a reproducible composition of matter, representative in a general
way of soilants encountered in the field.
PC-ST-31: Penetrating Dye Type Recommended for ASTM Method D 3258, Test for Stain Resistance
and Porosity
This is a proprietary composition of pigment and dark-colored dye dispersed
in an organic liquid vehicle. When applied and then removed from a paint
film, the intensity of the resultant stain indicates the degree of film porosity.
Both media have perfect package stability and are manufactured and control tested to assure batchto-batch uniformity. Their usefulness extends not only to ASTM tests, but to any soil and stain removal
test procedure.
