This standard describes a method for determining the volatile organic matter (VOC) content in Coatings. By heating the sample at a specified temperature, its volatile content is calculated. This data is important for understanding the emission characteristics and environmental impact of Coatings. The method is suitable for solvent-based and water-based paints and can be used in various Coating systems, including air drying, heat curing, etc. The standard also mentions Miscellaneous related methods and application scenarios, but points out that different types of Coatings may need to adjust the test conditions to suit their characteristics.
