ASTM D2243 – Standard Test Method for Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Water-Borne Coatings
Description:
Significance and Use
4.1 When water-borne coatings are shipped during cold weather, they may experience cycles of freezing and thawing. Cycles of freezing and thawing cause more damage to water-borne coatings than when the coatings are subjected to steady freezing.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers a procedure for evaluating the effect of freeze/thaw cycling on the viscosity and visual film properties of water-borne coatings.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
