4.5.6.3.3 Water content. Determine the weight percent water, Xw, of the admixed primer in
accordance with ASTM D1364.
4.5.6.3.4 Calculation.
VOC (g/l) = (Dm(100-Xm-Xw)) / (100 - Xw × Dm/997).
4.5.6.3.5 Failure criterion. Nonconformance to the VOC requirement in 3.5.3 shall constitute
failure of this test.
4.5.7 Condition in container.
4.5.7.1 Component A. Upon opening a full previously unopened container, the condition of the
contents shall be examined for compliance with 3.6.1.1. Reseal, then agitate the container for 3
minutes on a paint shaker and examine for compliance with 3.6.1.1. On reexamination of the
contents, the disclosure of any gel bodies or undispersed pigment indicates unsatisfactory settling
properties.
4.5.7.2 Component B. Upon opening a full previously unopened container the condition of the
contents shall be examined for compliance with 3.6.1.2.
4.5.8 Storage stability.
4.5.8.1 Component A. Allow a full quart can of component A to stand undisturbed for 1 year in
accordance with ASTM D1849 and then examine the contents. Evaluate the pigment settling as
specified in 4.5.7.1 except agitate the can for 5 minutes on a paint shaker prior to reexamination.
Perform applicable tests for compliance with 3.6.2.1.
4.5.8.2 Component B. Allow a full 8 ounce can of component B to stand for one year under
standard laboratory conditions. At the end of this period, examine the contents for compliance to
3.6.2.2.
4.5.9 Accelerated storage stability. Allow tightly sealed glass jars filled with each component to
stand undisturbed for 7 days at 140 °F (60 °C). Allow to cool to room temperature and examine
the contents. Mix the components as specified in 4.5.11.1. Nonconformance to 3.6.3 shall
constitute failure of this test.
4.5.10 Freeze-thaw stability. Subject tightly sealed containers of each component to a 4 day
cycle of 16 hours at 10 °F (-12 °C) and 8 hours at room temperature. After completion, examine
the contents separately, and then mix as specified in 4.5.11.1. Nonconformance to 3.6.4 shall
constitute failure of this test.
4.5.11 Mixing properties.
4.5.11.1 Mixing. Thoroughly stir component A by hand until uniform. If necessary, use a paint
shaker to disperse any settled pigment in component A. Unless otherwise specified, mix one
volume of component B with four volumes of component A. It is recommended that the two
