The ISO 6744-1:1999 standard describes a general method for testing alkyd resins and applies to gluing agents for paints, varnishes and similar products. The standard applies to various solutions and preparations made from alkyd resins and provides a basic test method for ensuring material mass. ISO 6744-1:1999, as the first part of the ISO 6744 series, replaces the 1984 version and covers conventional test methods to support performance evaluation of various alkyd resins.
