Designation:D532410Standard Guide forTesting Water-Borne Architectural Coatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5324;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers the selection and use of proceduresfor testing water-borne coatings to be used on exterior,interioror both types of surfaces(Note 1).The properties that can beexamined or,in some cases,the relevant test procedures arelisted in Table 1 and Table 2.NOTE1The term“architectural coating”as used here combines thedefinition in Terminology D16 with that in the FSCT Paint/CoatingsDictionary2,as follows:“Organic coatings intended for on-site applicationto interior or exterior surfaces of residential,commercial,institutional,orindustrial buildings,in contrast to industrial coatings.They are protectiveand decorative finishes applied at ambient temperatures.Often calledTrade Sales Coatings.”NOTE2Architectural coatings that are designed to give better perfor-mance than most conventional coatings because they are tougher and morestain and abrasion resistant are covered by Guide D3730.1.2 The types of organic coatings covered by this guide areas follows:(1)Type 1Interior Latex Flat Wall Paints,(2)Type 2Exterior Latex House Paints,(3)Type 3Water-Borne Floor Paints,and(4)Type 4Interior Latex Semigloss and Gloss Paints.1.2.1 Each is intended for application by brushing,rolling,spraying or other means to the material appropriate for its type,which may include plaster,masonry,wallboard,wood,steel,previously painted surfaces,and other architectural substrates.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D16 Terminology for Paint,Related Coatings,Materials,andApplicationsD185 Test Methods for Coarse Particles in PigmentsD215 Practice for the Chemical Analysis of White LinseedOil Paints(Withdrawn 2005)4D344 Test Method for Relative Hiding Power of Paints bythe Visual Evaluation of BrushoutsD358 Specification for Wood to Be Used as Panels inWeathering Tests of Coatings(Withdrawn 2014)4D522 Test Methods for Mandrel Bend Test of AttachedOrganic CoatingsD523 Test Method for Specular GlossD562 Test Method for Consistency of Paints MeasuringKrebs Unit(KU)Viscosity Using a Stormer-Type Viscom-eterD660 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Checking ofExterior PaintsD661 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Cracking ofExterior PaintsD662 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Erosion ofExterior PaintsD772 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Flaking(Scal-ing)of Exterior PaintsD869 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Settling of PaintD968 Test Methods for Abrasion Resistance of OrganicCoatings by Falling AbrasiveD1006 Practice for Conducting Exterior Exposure Tests ofPaints on WoodD1014 Practice for Conducting Exterior Exposure Tests ofPaints and Coatings on Metal SubstratesD1210 Test Method for Fineness of Dispersion of Pigment-Vehicle Systems by Hegman-Type GageD1296 Test Method for Odor of Volatile Solvents andDiluentsD1308 Test Method for Effect of Household Chemicals on1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paint andRelated Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.42 on Architectural Coatings.Current edition approved Dec.1,2010.Published December 2010.Originallyapproved in 1992.Last previous edition approved in 2003 as D5324 03.DOI:10.1520/D5324-10.2Available from Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology(FSCT),492Norristown Rd.,Blue Bell,PA 19422-2350,http:/www.coatingstech.org.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 TABLE 1 List of Standards in Sectional OrderProperty(or related test)SectionASTMStandardFederal Test MethodStandard 141DSampling6.2D3925Liquid Coating PropertiesCondition in container7.13011Coarse particles and foreign matter7.2D185Density or weight per gallon7.3D1475Fineness of dispersion7.4D1210Odor7.5D1296Colorant acceptance7.6D5326pH7.7E70Package stability7.8Heat stability7.8.1D1849Freeze-thaw stability7.8.2D2243Settl
