Designation:D33301(Reapproved 2013)Standard Guide forClear and Pigmented Lacquers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D333;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 These test methods cover procedures for testing lacquersand lacquer coatings.The test methods included are listed inTable 1.NOTE1In accordance with Terminology D16,a lacquer is defined asa coating composition that is based on synthetic thermoplastic filmformingmaterial dissolved in organic solvent(s)and that dries primarily by solventevaporation.Typical lacquers include those based on nitrocellulose,othercellulose derivatives,vinyl resins,acrylic resins,etc.NOTE2Lacquers may be applied under such diverse conditions,to somany different surfaces,and their dried films may be subjected to so manykinds of wear and exposure that it is not possible to assure desiredperformance from a single selection of test methods and numerical resultstherefrom.Those skilled in lacquer technology may find partial assuranceof obtaining desired qualities in various types of lacquers through carefulselection of the methods covered herein and intelligent interpretation ofresults therefrom.NOTE3It is intended ultimately to remove all experimental proce-dures from Test Methods D333 and to establish them as a guide to theselection of test methods for lacquer and perhaps to interpretation ofresults therefrom.Temporarily there remain in Test Methods D333 a fewtests that are too short or otherwise presently unsuitable for establishmentunder separate ASTM designations.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 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:2B117 Practice for Operating Salt Spray(Fog)ApparatusD16 Terminology for Paint,Related Coatings,Materials,andApplicationsD56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup TesterD88 Test Method for Saybolt ViscosityD93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)D522 Test Methods for Mandrel Bend Test of AttachedOrganic CoatingsD523 Test Method for Specular GlossD609 Practice for Preparation of Cold-Rolled Steel Panelsfor Testing Paint,Varnish,Conversion Coatings,andRelated Coating ProductsD610 Practice for Evaluating Degree of Rusting on PaintedSteel SurfacesD658 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of OrganicCoatings by Air Blast Abrasive(Withdrawn 1996)3D659 Method for Evaluating Degree of Chalking of ExteriorPaints(Withdrawn 1990)3D660 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 PaintsD714 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Blistering ofPaintsD772 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Flaking(Scal-ing)of Exterior PaintsD823 Practices for Producing Films of Uniform Thicknessof Paint,Varnish,and Related Products on Test PanelsD870 Practice for Testing Water Resistance of CoatingsUsing Water ImmersionD968 Test Methods for Abrasion Resistance of OrganicCoatings by Falling AbrasiveD1005 Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thick-ness of Organic Coatings Using MicrometersD1014 Practice for Conducting Exterior Exposure Tests ofPaints and Coatings on Metal SubstratesD1186 Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement ofDry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paint andRelated Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.55 on Factory Applied Coatings on Preformed Products.Current edition approved June 1,2013.Published July 2013.Originally approvedin 1931.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D333 01(2007).DOI:10.1520/D0333-01R13.2For 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.3The 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 a Ferrous Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D1200 Test Method for Viscosity by Ford Viscosity CupD1209 Test Method for Color of Clear Liquids(Platinum-Cobalt Scale)D1210 Test Method
