jetter than that of the actual standard color chip, and for color 37925, the enamel shall have a
minimum directional reflectance of 83 (see 4.6.26).

3.4.1 Pigment. The pigments listed in table II, in any combination, shall be used to match the
colors specified. The titanium dioxide shall be a rutile chalk resistant type conforming to
ASTM D476, type III or type IV. Lead or chromate (hexavalent) pigments shall not be used.
Compounds of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, cyanide, lead,
manganese, mercury, nickel and selenium shall be absent. Extender pigments shall be siliceous
matter and barium sulfate, in any ratio, and shall not exceed the amount specified in table I. The
use of the specified pigments does not guarantee that a product will meet all the requirements of
this specification, as the choice of vendors, amounts, methods of dispersion and incorporation
can significantly affect the quality of the end product. If other tinting pigments are used to match
the spectral characteristics, these additional pigments shall be recommended for exterior
exposure by the pigment supplier. Other corrosion inhibiting pigments, in addition to the
specified zinc phosphate in table I can be used.
3.4.2 Lead and chromate (hexavalent) content. When tested as specified, the lead content shall
not exceed 0.06 percent by weight of the total nonvolatile content (see 4.6.8) and the test for
hexavalent chromium shall be negative (see 4.6.7).
3.4.3 Vehicle. The vehicle shall be a drying oil alkyd, modified or unmodified.
3.4.4 Solvent analysis. When tested as specified in 4.6.9, solvents used shall be in accordance
with the guidelines established by local, state and federal regulations and shall be volatile
organic hazardous air pollutants-free (VOHAP-free).
3.5 Quantitative characteristics. When tested as specified in 4.6.2, the enamel shall conform to
the quantitative requirements of table III.
