Summary

1.1 This practice is intended to serve as a guide to the selection of the proper ASTM test method for determining the volatile and nonvolatile content of cellulosics, emulsions, resin solutions, shellac, and varnishes.

Note 1—Standards for determining the composition of the volatile fraction are not covered by this practice.

1.2 The standards referenced in the practice are as follows:

Classification	Section	ASTM Standard
Cellulosics	5.1	D871
		D914
		D1347
Emulsions	5.2	D2369
Resin Solutions	5.3	D1259
		D1490
Shellac	5.4	D29
		D1650
Varnishes	5.5	D115
		D1644

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

Significance and Use:

4.1 The nonvolatile content of raw materials may be used to determine the total nonvolatile content (solids) of paint and related coatings. Such information may be useful to coatings producers and users for the determination of the total solids available for film formation and for the estimation of the volatile organic content.
