Standard Guide to Evaluation of Optical Properties of Powder Coatings
ABSTRACT
This standard provides guide to evaluation and testing of color, color difference, gloss, metamerism, and miscellaneous optical properties of optical powder coatings by both visual and instrumental means. Visual evaluation of optical properties shall include visual gloss test method, Munsell Color Order System, and ASTM test standards indicated in the specification. Instrumental evaluation of optical properties shall include specular gloss test, filter photometry, reflection haze, fluorescence, and ASTM test standards indicated in the specification.
SCOPE
1.1 This standard provides the user with a guide to the various available practices and test methods for the evaluation of color, color difference, gloss, and metamerism by both visual and by instrumental means.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Evaluation of Optical Properties of Powder Coatings
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5382; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
The term optical properties of powder coatings refers to those properties associated with the
interaction of visible light with the coatings. These properties include, but are not limited to, color,
color difference, gloss, and metamerism. Coating powder users and producers may sometimes be
overwhelmed by the sheer number of standard practices and standard test methods available for the
evaluation of the optical properties of the finished coatings.
This guide is intended to lead the user to each of the practices and test methods needed, once the
user decides whether the evaluation is to be by visible means or by instrumental means. Further, the
user must decide which of the several optical properties mentioned above are to be evaluated. This
guide will lead the user to the applicable practices and test methods for the properties chosen by the
means selected.
