Opacity Charts
The term Opacity Chart, as used in this catalog, refers to charts on which the test pattern is a simple combination of black and white areas, large enough for wide aperture reflectance instruments, as well as for visual opacity and color observations. Leneta opacity charts comply with all test methods specifying charts of such design.

Penetration Chart
An important characteristic of architectural finishes is the ability to maintain a uniform appearance on surfaces of varying porosity. This ability, of which gloss and color uniformity are specific aspects, is referred to as penetration resistance. The adjacent sealed/unsealed areas of Leneta Form HB present severe conditions of varying porosity for testing penetration resistance. In addition to qualitative visual observations, photometric measurements on the two areas provide objective numerical values.

Display Charts / Spreading Rate Charts

These charts employ time-tested diagonally striped patterns, having a strong visual impact that emphasizes variations in film opacity. They are therefore frequently used for hiding power display purposes, by means of drawdowns or brushouts. Gray stripes in Form 8H-GW provide reduced substrate contrast for use with low hiding power coatings. Spreading Rate Charts (Forms 8H and 8H-GW) are accurately 0.1 square meters (approximately one square foot) in area, and are used in brushout hiding tests at specified spreading rates as described in ASTM Method D 344.

Opacity-Display Charts / Spreading Rate Charts

Charts of this type combine the large, unbroken areas that are characteristic of Opacity Charts, with the striped design of a Display Chart. The larger areas permit wide aperture photometric measurements and visual color comparisons, while the striped area is uniquely effective for hiding power comparison and display. Spreading Rate Charts (Forms 12H and 13H) are accurately 0.1 square meters (approximately one square foot) in area, and are designed for brushout application at specified spreading rates.

Checkerboard Charts

Spreading Rate Charts

One of the earliest hiding power test surfaces was linoleum with a black and white checkerboard pattern. This was soon replaced by sealed paperboard charts of which Forms 10H and 10H-BG Spreading Rate Charts are typical examples. Designed for brushout tests at specified spreading rates, such as in ASTM Method D 344 and Canadian 1-GP-71, they are also used for drawdown applications like their smaller counterparts, Forms 10A and 10B. Black and gray squares in Form 10H-BG provide reduced contrast for testing coatings with lower hiding power.

Release Charts
For rapid and precise hiding power measurements
These charts have a unique surface which is readily wetted by waterborne or solventborne paints, but from which the dried film can easily* be stripped with adhesive tape. The stripping feature permits the dry film weight on a measured area to be determined precisely by weighing on an analytical balance before and after film removal. The spreading rate (H) and wet film thickness (T) can then be calculated from the following simple relationships: A(cm2) . N . D (kg/L) H(m2/L) = 10 M(g) H(ft2/gal) = 40.746H(m2/L) H(ft2/gal) x T (mils) = 1604.2

where:

H T A D M N

= = = = = =

spreading rate (m2/L), (ft2/gal). wet film thickness (m), (mils) test area (cm2) paint density (kg/L) dry film weight (g) non-volatile fraction by weight of the applied paint

RC-BC

This procedure represents a break-through in reduced time for precise measurement of spreading rate (or wet film thickness) in the determination of hiding power.
RC-5C * Not so easily as to produce undamaged free films. For that purpose use Form RP-1K release paper described on page 20.

Gray Scale Charts

For Visual Hiding Power Ratings
Large-Area Roller or Brush Application

These are sealed paint test charts with six stripes on a white field, ranging in shade from very light gray to black. The stripes are numbered 1 to 6, representing uniform steps of increasing contrast. The hiding power of the applied coatings is rated as the number of the darkest stripe that is completely (or almost completely) obscured, at a specified thickness or spreading rate. Form CU-1M is used for more practical large-area brush or roller applications as in ASTM D 5150. Applications on Form 24B are with a drawdown blade. See Appendix, Page 33 for gray scale values.

Wall-Matte Charts
Large-area matte finish test surfaces for practical laboratory application testing of wall paints These charts are coated with a flat finish similar in texture and tooth to a typical trade sales flat wall paint. Paints can be applied by brush or roller with assurance that there will be no surface skid during application. The surface is well sealed so that both waterborne and solventborne coatings can be applied with no penetration of vehicle into the substrate. Wall-Matte Charts are an effective replacement for previously available Kem-Glo Test Paper and superior to that product in imperviousness and paper rigidity.

Spray Strips
Hiding Power Charts for OEM Coatings
These are used by industrial coatings laboratories, principally those involved with the automotive industry, to measure the hiding power of spraying enamels. The chart is attached to a steel panel and the test coating sprayed to produce a wedge varying from thin at one end to thick at the other. After drying, a location on the chart of adequate visual hiding or 0.98 contrast ratio is determined, and the film thickness measured electronically on the steel panel adjacent to that location. Conversely, a location of specified thickness is determined on the steel panel and the Contrast Ratio measured adjacent to that location.

Spray Monitors
Self-Adhering Hiding Power Labels
These are pressure sensitive labels with a hiding power test pattern and a sealed, solvent-resistant surface. They are used primarily with metal panels on which the uniform surface provides no visual clue as to the thickness of an applied paint film. When placed on such a 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, to present a permanent visual record of film opacity. The longer Monitors, M71 and M72, permit wedge application, with thickness and hiding power determination, as described with Spray Strips (see page 14).

Leneta Paper-Testing Inks

For Evaluating Mottle, Holdout and Porosity of Coated and Uncoated Papers
Item No. TK-11 : High Penetration for Coated Papers Item No. TK-21: Low Penetration for Uncoated Papers

These testing inks provide a simple and rapid way of monitoring batch-to-batch 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. Examples of test patterns obtained using the two inks, demonstrating their specialized nature, are as follows:
TK-11 TK-21 TK-11 TK-21
High Penetration Ink Low Penetration Ink High Penetration Ink Low Penetration Ink

Coated Papers

Uncoated Papers

Test Procedure: Spread the ink on the paper to be tested using a spatula or drawdown applicator (see TK-100 Applicator below). After one minute remove the ink by first scraping off most of it with a straight edge, then wiping away the remainder carefully with 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: Porosity Index (Holdout) 100 Yunstained - Ystained Yunstained 10 -1

These are low cost metallic substrates to replace expensive solid metal panels when the primary interest is in appearance. The test surface has a high metallic luster. The cards are 18 mils (0.46 mm) thick and have a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) diameter hole punched in one end. In addition to lower cost, a major advantage over regular metal panels is that they are much lighter in weight and therefore more conveniently stored.

Glass Substrates
Blacklite** Glass Panels - Approximately 0.25 inch (6mm) thick Black glass is used in widely referenced high-precision ASTM Method D 2805, and related hiding power test methods. After measuring the reflectance R0 of the dry film, a defined area is scraped from the glass and weighed to obtain the spreading rate or original wet film thickness. R of the paint film is obtained from a separate test application. The hiding power is then calculated from the appropriate KubelkaMunk equations found in the ASTM method.
GB-2A

Black glass panels are used in U.S. Federal Test Method 141-4122 and CGSB Method 1-GP-71-14.7 for measuring hiding power. The latter method also provides for direct wet film thickness measurements using a Pfund or Interchemical type of wet film thickness gage, as described in ASTM Method D 1212. These methods depend on the unique hardness and levelness characteristics of glass substrates. Leneta black glass is much superior in levelness to previously available striated types.

The TG19 Logicator TM

Item TG19: A Geometric-Sequence Multi-Notch Applicator, designed for rapid visual hiding power measurements. Conforms with ASTM Method D 5007, Wet-to-Dry Hiding Change. Description: This unique drawdown blade applies a series of stripes with thicknesses in equal percentage steps, to permit single-drawdown exploration of the widest practicable application range. In addition to the hiding level of the coating, it also facilitates examination of the effect of film thickness on drying speed and surface uniformity, allowing a quick characterization of the essential features of the coating. The individual stripes are identified by INDEX numbers (20 to 48) engraved on the instrument, and also printed on the Form 23B Logicator Chart designed for use with this applicator. The Index Numbers are in equal numerical steps corresponding to increments of approximately 20% in notch clearance, film thickness and spreading rate, as shown in the following table:

Test Procedure: After the applied coating has dried, the operator locates the critical stripe, visually or photometrically, and encircles the parameter of interest, as illustrated. It is generally accepted that the hiding power endpoint is not total visual extinction, but a degree of contrast just short of complete hiding, corresponding to a photometric contrast ratio of 0.98. ASTM D 5007: In this standard, the hiding power of the wet film and then of the dry film are observed visually, and the percentage increase or decrease is reported.

Form P121-10N Black Plastic-Vinyl Chloride/Acetate Copolymer Smooth Matte Surface - Plasticizer Free Thickness: 10 mils (0.25 mm) - Size: 6-1/2 x 17 in (165 x 432 mm) Used in ASTM D 2486, ASTM D 4213, ISO 11918 and Other Scrub Test Methods In a typical scrub test, the coating is applied to the Leneta Scrub Test Panel at a specified film thickness, allowed to dry, then subjected to scrubbing with a straight-line scrub tester. In ASTM D 2486, a 10 mil shim is inserted under the panel to accelerate failure and thereby reduce testing time. The scrub resistance is the number of scrub cycles required to remove the coating to a specified end point. Alternatively, the loss in weight is determined after a specified number of scrub cycles as a measure of scrub resistance, with calculation of equivalent loss in film thickness.

These are standard panels prepared by applying white emulsion paints on black scrub test panels. The films are indefinitely stable and the panels of each type 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 method. The Calibration Rating is the performance of the test paint panel expressed as a percentage relative to that of the selected Calibration Panel. Thus:
% Calibration Rating = Test Panel Cycles-to Failure Calibration Panel Cycles-to-Failure x 100 **

** The letter indicating the calibration panel type is appended to the calibration rating, e.g. 125A, 65C, 95C etc.

Used in ASTM D 4062, Test for Leveling of Paints
Leneta Leveling Test Blade
Item No. LTB-2

Fig. 1 The Leneta Leveling Test Blade

This is a threaded stainless 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 the diagram. Plastic arms in conjunction with straight-edge guides assure rectilinear drawdown movement (see DP-2 Leveling Test Drawdown Plate below). Advantages over brushout application tests are speed, reproducibility, and a regular surface pattern that facilitates evaluation. The leveling of films applied in this manner correlates well with brushout leveling. The diagram shows alternating clearances of 300 and 100 m (12 and 4 mils), to apply alternate stripes of 150 and 50 m (6 and 2 mils) thickness. Thus the mean wet film thickness of the test drawdown will be about 100 m (4 mils), corresponding to a spreading rate of 10 m2/L (400 ft2/gal). The detailed method is described in the Appendix, Page 35.

Fig. 2 Details from the engineering drawing. Dimensions are in millimeters. Plastic arms are illustrated in Fig. 1 above.

Leneta Drawdown Levelness Standards

Item No. LS-2

Fig. 3 Drawdown Levelness Standards under oblique light, as described in ASTM D 4062.

These are 3-dimensional true scale replicas of drawdowns made with the Leneta Leveling Test Blade, using a series of nine paints ranging from extremely poor to good leveling. The primary standards are durable metal plates from which replicas are pressed in the form of 3 x 5 in (75 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. Evaluation of drawdowns prepared with the Leneta Leveling Test Blade is readily accomplished by visual comparison in oblique light. The number of the matching standard is the Leveling Value of the paint. Further information with regard to the significance of these values is provided in the Appendix, Page 35.

Leveling Test Drawdown Plate

Item No. DP-2 This drawdown plate was designed for use with the Leneta Leveling Test Blade in ASTM Method D 4062. Its construction features include edge guides, to assure that straight parallel stripes are obtained from the rapid blade movement called for in the test method. It also includes peg stops that automatically terminate the blade movement in the correct location at completion of the drawdown. Page 25

Major uses include: ASTM Method D 6441 -- Measuring the Hiding Power of Powder Coatings -- A wedge shape film is applied on a T12G or T12M panel. Points of specified film thickness are located over the black and white areas, reflectances are measured and the mean contrast ratio at that film thickness is calculated. Alternatively, several black/white pairs of equal-thickness points at various film thicknesses are located, and the calculated contrast ratio plotted graphically against the film thickness to obtain the film thickness at a contrast ratio of 0.98. In this method the reflectance is measured with a small diameter aperture (e.g. 4 mm), and the film thickness with an electronic film thickness gage. Powder Coatings Institute Method -- In this method the film thickness is determined directly on a T12G panel at 0.98 Contrast Ratio. Alternatively, the Contrast Ratio is determined at a specified film thickness. Reflectance and film thickness instrumentation are as in ASTM D 6441. ASTM Method D 2805 -- Hiding Power of Paints by Reflectometry -The film is applied uniformly over a panel. The filmweight and reflectance R0 are determined on the black area, and the reflectivity R of the coating determined using the black and white areas. The gravimetric spreading rate at 0.98 Contrast Ratio is then calculated using Kubelka-Munk equations. Conversion to volumetric spreading rate or to film thickness is readily accomplished.

Applicators - Blade Type

Also referred to as Drawdown Bars or Doctor Blades, they apply a wet film thickness approximately half their gap clearance. They are essential laboratory equipment for making uniform and reproducible applications on Leneta Charts and other surfaces. Trade Sales Applicators ("U"-Shape) Each of these instruments has a 6 mil and an 8 mil gap clearance, laying down wet film thicknesses of approximately 3 and 4 mils, respectively. These are the thicknesses most often recommended for the testing of solventborne and waterborne architectural coatings, hence their characterization by Leneta as "Trade Sales" applicators. The film widths of 4 and 6 inches take advantage of the most popular Leneta test chart widths of 5-1/2 and 7-5/8 inches. Their "U"-shape structure retains a substantial volume of test coating to assure completeness of drawdowns.

8. Basic Hiding Power Methods

(continued)
a= 1 2

8.1 Definitions - Hiding Power is defined as the Spreading Rate required for full hiding over a standard black and white substrate. The latter is specified in coatings technology to have CIE-Y reflectances of 0.01 (1%) max. and 0.80 (80%) respectively. Sometimes substrates with other shades or color combinations are employed. When a film is applied uniformly over a black & white substrate, the ratio of the CIE-Y reflectance over the black area to that over the white area is its Contrast Ratio. Contrast Ratio is the photometric measure and statement of the film Opacity or Hiding. Full hiding for visual observations means just short of total extinction of contrast. Photometrically it is defined as 0.98 Contrast Ratio. 8.2 General Procedure - The objective is to determine the spreading rate at a specified level of dry film opacity, as perceived visually or corresponding to a specified contrast ratio: C= R 0 /R0.80. The basic experimental procedure is to apply a uniform film on a suitable test substrate, to observe its opacity either visually or photometrically, and to determine its spreading rate. Since it is not possible to apply a film with precision at a predetermined dry opacity, several such applications need to be made over a range of spreading rates and their results plotted graphically. The spreading rate is then taken from the graph at the specified Contrast Ratio. Conversely, the Contrast Ratio can be determined on the same graph, at a specified Spreading Rate or Film Thickness. 8.3 Spreading Rate (or Film Thickness) Determination - In both visual and photometric hiding power methods, the procedures for observing film opacity are well defined and can be performed with dispatch. The experimental task that is most demanding on the operators time and ingenuity is to determine the spreading rate or film thickness of the applied coating with good precision. Although gages are available for measuring wet and dry film thickness directly, it is more accurate to determine the weight of dry paint film on a measured test area and then to calcu-

late the spreading rate or film thickness from one of the following equations: H(m2L)= A(cm2) N D(kg/L) 1000 (1) = 10M(g) T(m) 1000N A(cm2) N (2) = t(m) d(kg/L) 10M(g)

H(m2/kg)=

where:H = spreading rate T = wet film thickness t = dry film thickness A = test area N = non-volatile fraction by weight D = paint density d = dry film density M = dry film weight Metric values thus calculated can be converted to U.S. common units via the following relationships: H(ft2/gal = 40.746 H(m2/L) H(ft2/lb) = 4.8824 H(m2/kg) T(m) = 25.4 T(mils) D(lb/gal) = 8.3454 D(kg/L) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Where: R0 = reflectance over black substrate W = white substrate reflectance RW = reflectance over white substrate 9.3 White Substrate Variation For hiding power control purposes, coatings are applied on a black & white substrate at a standard film thickness, reflectances RO and RW are measured, and the Contrast Ratio RO/RW calculated. With non-opaque films, variations in white substrate reflectance can affect the measured value of RW, and therefore the contrast ratio hiding power criterion. The following Kubelka-Monk equation provides a solution to this problem, thus: RW-RG= (W-G)(RW-R0) W(1-GR0)

Powder coatings are usually considered to be volatile-free, and their dry film and powder displacement densities (d and D) equal. In that case Equation 2 becomes: H(m2/kg)= A(cm2) 1000 = t(m) D(kg/L) 10M(g) (7)

Where: R0, W, RW are as stated above. G = alternate white substrate reflectance RG = reflectance over alternate white substrate
Note: G could be higher or lower than W

This less rigorous equation avoids the need to determine d or N.

9. Kubelka-Monk (K-M) Equations

9.1 ASTM D 2805 Using equations derived from K-M theory, it is possible to calculate the contrast ratio of a coating at one spreading rate (or film thickness) from measurements made at another. On that basis several easy and accurate hiding power test methods have been developed, one being the widely referenced ASTM D 2805. The equations are complex, requiring computer solutions, but the experimental measurements are minimal. Consult the ASTM method for full details. 9.2 Calculations of R , Reflectivity This basic optical property of a coating is defined as the reflectance of a film thick enough to be completely opaque. Few coatings applied at normal film thickness hide completely. Kubelka-Monk theory provides equations for calculating R from measurements on non-opaque films applied uniformly on black and white hiding power charts, as follows:

(3) Pre-shear in accordance with one of the methods described on Page 36 and test immediately thereafter. C. Application of Coating (1) Position a Catch-Paper on the drawdown plate. (2) Place a chart on the drawdown plate against the left guide. (3) Place the test blade at the top of the chart with its long arm against the left guide and toward the operator. (4) Place 8-10 mL of pre-sheared coating in front of the blade and drawdown rapidly at a uniform rate of approximately 60 cm (2 ft) per second. (5) Allow to dry in a horizontal position at 23C (73F). D. Rating the Drawdown (1) After drying, cut out a 3 x 5 inch (75 x 125 mm) section, with striations parallel to the long edge. (2) Compare with Leneta Levelness Standards under suitable oblique light. (3) The number of the matching standard is the Leneta Drawdown Leveling Value.

Preparation of Coating (1) Stir well and adjust to 23C (73.5F) (2) Pre-shear in accordance with one of the methods described on Page 36, and test immediately thereafter. C. Application of Coating (1) Attach the straight-edge to the drawdown plate in a suitable position. (2) Place a test chart on the drawdown plate under the clip. (3) Place the Anti-Sag Meter on the chart adjacent to the clip, with its open side toward the operator and its shoulder against the straightedge. (4) Position the Catch-Paper. (5) Place a suitable quantity (8 - 10 mL) of presheared paint directly in front of the blade, and drawdown uniformly at about 6 inches (150 mm) per second. (6) Promptly fasten the drawdown to a vertical surface, with stripes horizontal like rungs in a standing ladder, left edge (thinnest stripe) at the top, and allow to dry in that position. D. Rating the Drawdown (1) Note the notch numbers marked on the Anti-Sag Meter and identify the corresponding stripes accordingly. (2) Ignore the leading and trailing edges, and observe only the central 5-1/2 inches (150 mm) of blade path, corresponding to the black area of Form 7B. (3) The lowest (thickest) stripe that does not touch the one below itself is referred to as the index stripe, and its notch number is the AntiSag Index of the paint. (4) For a more precise Anti-Sag Index, add to the index stripe number the product of the postindex clearance step and the fractional degree to which it has failed to merge with the next lower stripe.

E. Practical Interpretation of Ratings This is empirical and strongly subjective. It should be emphasized that the Anti-Sag Index is not a wet film thickness; it is the clearance of the index groove expressed in mils, and as such, approximately twice the wet film thickness of the index stripe with emphasis on approximate. Neither the Anti-Sag Index nor the estimated corresponding wet film thickness is to be construed as calling for a specific thickness in practice. It is solely a numerical comparator and acquires practical significance only on the basis of experience. When a coating is perceived as having optimum sag resistance by actual application, the AntiSag Index is then measured and thereafter becomes the sag control value for that particular formulation. The correct Anti-Sag Index for one product might be quite different than for another. Latex paints, for example, would normally have much higher index values than solventborne coatings. The following qualitative judgements were based on observations of a series of trade sales type alkyd gloss enamels, and are given here as examples only. They are not to be considered as definitive. Anti-Sag Index 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 12 Sag Resistance Very Poor Poor Poor-Fair Fair Fair-Good Good Very Good Excellent

The above indices cover the range of the Standard Anti-Sag Meter, but many coatings require lower or higher index measurements. These requirements are met with Low, Medium, and High Range instruments, making it possible to measure AntiSag Index values from 1 to 60. See Page 24 for range descriptions.

12. Pre-Shear 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 connection with ASTM Method D 4400 on Sag Resistance and ASTM Method D 4062 on Leveling. 1.Solvent Coatings Pre-Shear by Rapid Mixing A.
