# ASTM D2372

Standard Practice for Separation of Vehicle From Solvent-Reducible Paints

[Back to all techniques](/analytical-techniques/)

## Significance and Use

3.1 Separation of the vehicle from the pigment in solvent-reducible paints is required in order to characterize paint vehicles by chemical, spectroscopic, or chromatographic techniques. Characterization of vehicles is important since they play a major role in the performance of coatings.

## Scope

1.1 This practice covers the procedure for the separation of the vehicle from the pigment in solvent-reducible paint.

1.2 In the development of the practice the following materials were tested: white soya and white fish oil isophthalic alkyd semi-gloss enamels, white linseed oil paint, white soya and white linseed _o_\-phthalic alkyd enamels. It is considered to be applicable to similar materials.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
