ISO 3270 Paints and Varnishes and Their Raw Materials – Temperatures and Humidity for Conditioning and Testing

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 3270 testing. Specifies temperature and relative humidity conditions for general use. The test can be applied to liquid or powder coating materials, wet or dry films and their raw materials. The conditioning atmosphere and the test atmosphere are defined.

ISO 3270 Paints and Varnishes and Their Raw Materials – Temperatures and Humidity for Conditioning and Testing

The physical and mechanical properties of paints, varnishes and their raw materials often depend on test environment conditions; The most important variables are temperature and humidity.

The extent to which each of these variables should be controlled is determined by the significance of the variable's effect on the measured characteristic. Therefore, for the measurement of viscosity, refractive index and density, it is important to determine and control the temperature of the test section to much closer limits than those required for conditioning and the test atmosphere.

It is recognized that many data, for example viscosity, flow times and density, have historically been determined at temperatures different from those specified in this International Standard. In order to maintain the validity of such data and because most laboratory instruments (e.g. burettes, pipettes, pycnometers) are not calibrated at 23°C, a certain deviation from this International Standard may be necessary.

In these cases, it is strongly recommended that the physical data also be determined according to the conditions specified in this International Standard, in order to facilitate gradual progress towards general adoption of the standard conditions at a later date.
