Betekenis en gebruik

4.1 The control of water content is generally important for controlling the performance of paints and paint components, as well as for controlling the content of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

4.2 Coatings are generally insoluble in common Karl Fischer solvents such as methanol. Pyridine has been found to be an almost universal solvent for these materials. Echter, the Karl Fischer reaction in this solvent is too slow at room temperature. To speed things up, 1-ethyl piperidine was added at a concentration of 5% as a buffer or “catalyst”.

4.3 For nonpyridin-based reagents, many different solvent systems can be used to increase solubility and minimize ketone and aldehyde interference.

Domein

1.1 This test method is applicable to all paints and coatings, including resins, monomers and solvents, except aldehydes and certain active metals, metal oxides and metal hydroxides. Although the evaluation is limited to colored products with water content in the range of 30% naar 70%, there is reason to believe that higher and lower concentrations can be determined by this test method.

1.2 Waarden uitgedrukt in SI-eenheden worden als standaard beschouwd. De waarden tussen haakjes zijn alleen ter referentie.

1.3 Deze norm is niet bedoeld om alle veiligheidsproblemen met betrekking tot het gebruik aan te pakken. Het is de verantwoordelijkheid van de gebruiker van deze norm om vóór gebruik passende veiligheid- en gezondheidsmaatregelen vast te stellen en de toepasbaarheid van wettelijke beperkingen te bepalen.. The specific harm specification is given in Section 7.
