Designation:D282517Standard Terminology Relating toPolishes and Related Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2825;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.GENERALbuffablethe ability to improve the gloss or generalappearance,or both,of a polish film by a mechanical action.build-upthe condition resulting from a lack of self-sensitivity in an existing polish,whereby new film depositsover old,with little or no self-cleaning action.burnishingthe enhancement of the existing polish appear-ance is accomplished by dry mechanical abrasion using asuitable machine and accessories.cleaningremoval of visible marks,dust,and other extrane-ous materials from the surface.coaguluman agglomerate of particles grouped together byrelatively weak mechanical or chemical affinities;usuallydesignates the densest phase of a separated emulsion.creamingthe separation of a layer of an emulsion intoseparate,and discrete layers,with the less dense componentof the emulsions migrating to the uppermost layer.depth of glossthe optical phenomenon of relative depthperceived when viewing reflective surfaces.detergent resistancethe degree to which a polish filmexhibits no apparent deterioration when spotted or cleanedwith a solution of a nonabrasive,nonammoniacal detergent.distinctness of imagedegree of clarity exhibited by imagesreflected from a surface.dragphysical resistance to mechanical spreading of a liquidpolish.dry bright polisha polish that dries to a gloss withoutbuffing.ease of usea subjective assessment of polish applicationproperties,which includes variable elements of polish appli-cation drag,dry time,time between coat applications,glossbuild on multicoat applications,dry time before exposure totraffic,polish,soil resistance,ease of cleaning,and ease ofremoval.film claritycharacteristic of a deposited film,which permitsan unobstructed view of the color and inherent design of thesubstrate.gloss retentionmaintenance of the gloss of a film undernormal use conditions.hazefilm whose clarity is impaired with varying degrees ofopacity;this denigration of film clarity is sometimes onlyevident with multi-coat applications of polish.levelingthe property of a freshly spread polish to dry to auniform and streak-free appearance.marmutilation of polish film,reparable only by recoating.nonvolatilesmaterials remaining after the loss of volatilecomponents.polisha temporary coating that enhances the appearance andmay protect the substrate to which it is applied.recoatabilitythe application characteristics of a polish andthe appearance of the film after successive coatings to asurface.soilsolid foreign matter,resulting from traffic embedded inor adhered on the surface.speed relating to rotary disc floor machineslow speed:upto 800 r/min,high speed:more then 800 but less than 1500r/min,and ultra high speed:1500 r/min or more.NOTE1Effectiveness of the floor machine depends upon machineweight and pad diameter as well as r/min.spreadingthe action of flowing out over a surface duringapplication.staindiscoloration by foreign matter.streakingnonuniform deposition of a polish film.volatile solventa nonaqueous liquid that evaporates readilyat room temperature and atmospheric pressure.water beadingsurface property that causes the formation ofdiscrete water droplets on the dried polish surface.1This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D21 onPolishes and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D21.91 on Terminologyand Editorial ReviewCurrent edition approved Feb.1,2017.Published March 2017.Originallyapproved in 1969.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D2825 13.DOI:10.1520/D2825-17.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 water spottingchange in appearance of surface resultingsolely from the action of cool water.wettingthe property of a polish to uniformly and completelycontact the solid surface to which it is applied;this propertyis a function of the surface tension of the liquid polish andthe surface energy of the substrate,which may be driedpolish film.FLOOR POLISHalkali soluble resinlow molecular weight,acid functionalnatural resins,modified natural resins,or synthetic copoly-mers characterized by forming a true solution in water whenbasified to pH 8 or greater,while being insoluble in water atpH 6 or lower.DISCUSSIONWhen used in polish formulations,alkali soluble resinsaffect film f
