Standard Practice for Preparation of Paint-Roller Covers for Evaluation of Architectural Coatings

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Until a paint-roller cover is saturated with paint, only part of the paint loaded onto the paint-roller cover can be transferred to a surface being painted. The remainder of the paint is absorbed into the fabric of the paint-roller cover. The amount of paint absorbed by a paint-roller cover is inversely proportional to the amount already present within the paint-roller cover. By saturating the paint-roller cover before testing, quantitative inaccuracies of the amount of paint delivered to a surface are eliminated.

4.1.1 Using a saturated paint-roller cover enables the user to apply paint at controllable spreading rates.

4.1.2 Using a saturated paint-roller cover affords reproducibility, when repeating a test.
