APPLICATION LENETA PAINT TEST CHARTS AND INSTRUMENTS 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 Fig. 3. Drawdown Levelness Standards under replicas of drawdowns made with the Leneta oblique light. 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.

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.

LTB-1 Fig. 1 Photograph of the NYPC Leveling Test Blade Fig. 2 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. Engineering Diagram of the NYPC Leveling Test Blade LEVELING TEST CHART Form 7B: 7-5/8 x 11-3/8in. (194 x 289mm) This form was designed for use with the LENETA Anti-Sag Meter and the NYPC Leveling Test Blade. Its special 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 instructions to ignore the leading and trailing edges of the drawdown. Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc. • www.gardco.com • (954) 946-9454 • 1-800-762-2478 3 APPLICATION 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.

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.

Gardner Co., Inc. • www.gardco.com • (954) 946-9454 • 1-800-762-2478 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.

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. Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc. • www.gardco.com • (954) 946-9454 • 1-800-762-2478 19 APPLICATION Examples of test patterns obtained using the two inks, demonstrating their specialized nature, are as follows: TK-11 TK-21 TK-11 TK-21 Test Procedure: Spread the ink on the paper to be High penetration ink Low penetration ink High penetration ink Low penetration ink tested using a spatula or drawdown applicator (see TK-100 Applicator). After one minute remove the ink by first scraping off most of it with a straight edge, then wiping away the remainder carefully with Coated Papers Uncoated Papers a clean paper towel. The resultant test pattern is characterized visually for mottle and porosity. To obtain an instrumental value for porosity, measure the CIE-Y reflectances, or the densitometer values, of the stained and unstained areas, then calculate: ∆D Porosity Index (Holdout) = Y unstained - Y stained = 10 -1 100 Y unstained 10∆D Where D = densitometer value and ∆D = Dstained - Dunstained TK-1 TK-2 118 mL 118 mL PACKAGING (227 grams –1/2 lb) per jar (151 grams –1/3 lb) per jar 8 jars per case PC-TK-100: Applicator for Paper-Testing Inks Constructed of aluminum, this low cost applicator is designed specially for use with Leneta Testing Inks. One edge has a 10 mil (250 µm) clearance and applies a 3 inch (75 mm) wide film. The opposite edge can be used as a convenient scraper. Dimensions: 5” x 2” x 1/8” (127mm x 51mm x 3mm) 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. 20 Paul N. Gardner Co., Inc. • www.gardco.com • (954) 946-9454 • 1-800-762-2478
