that has leaf shaped particles and when drying theyinterlock and form a coating
which is highly impervious to waterQ16:Name an example of a non destructive
DFT gauge and destructive gauge DFT?A: A non destructive test gauge is a banana
gaugeA destructive gauge is a paint inspectors gaugeQ17:Name four artificial
weathering devices and say what they are designed tosimulate?A: 1. Water soak to
test permeability2. Cold box to test for cold cracking and contraction3. Salt spray
to simulate a marine environment4. Temperature box to test for flexibility
alternating hot and coldQ18:Name two drying curing tests and state how they are
operated?A:
Stylus test
a test block is painted and needles of differing tension are pulled along ascale
is on top in hours can test for wet, tack, hard and fully cured
Balltoni test
a test block is painted and tiny glass balls are dropped on at regularintervals can
test for wet tack and dryQ19:What does a cryptometer measure and give two
examples of a cryptometer?A: A cryptometer measures the opacity of paint two
exmples are1.
Hiding power charts2.
Pfund cryptomter
Q20:What determines the degree of gloss a paint may posses?A:The degree of gloss a paint
posses is down to the fineness of the pigment grindFine- high gloss course- dull
Q21:Name three adhesion tests and describe how one of them is carried out?A:The three
adhesion tests are cross cut, cross hatch, and dolly test To perform a dolly test1.
Paint a sample and let fully cure2.
Attach a dolly using regular aralidite and let harden for 24 hours at 25 c3.
Cut around dolly to isolate paint undrneath4.
Pull of dolly and record pulling force required also record if failure is adhesive orcohesive
