Meaning and Purpose
4.1 Non-volatile content and pigment content are measures of total solids and inorganic pigment solids in electrophoretic paints, respectively. In addition to production quality control, these characteristics are also important for keeping the electrophoresis tank within better ranges.

4.2 Additional test methods for determining the non-volatile content of paints and paint related materials are described in Guide D2832.

ASTM D 5145-2021 Non-volatile and Pigment Content of Electrophoretic Paints

Scope of
1.1 These test methods cover the characterization of electrophoresis baths by determining the non-volatile content of inorganic pigment content.

1.2 Values expressed in SI units should be considered standard values. Other units of measurement are not included in this standard.

1.3 This standard is not intended to address all safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

1.4 This international Standard has been developed in accordance with the internationally recognized standardization principles established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations issued by the Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade of the World Trade Organization.
