(Specification)Standard Specification for Gold Bronze Powder
Standard Specification for Gold Bronze Powder
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the materials commercially known as gold bronze, pale gold bronze, and rich gold bronze powders. The gold bronze powder shall be made from new ingot metals, shall consist of fine polished flakes containing the prescribed percentage of fatty or oily matter (polishing lubricant), shall have the specified residue content and leafing properties, and shall be suitable for making gold bronze paint. The sampling and test methods to determine conformance to the specified composition and properties are given.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the materials commercially known as gold bronze, pale gold bronze, and rich gold bronze powders.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

3. Composition and Properties
3.1 The bronze powder shall be made from new ingot metals. It shall consist of fine polished flakes containing not less than
3 % of fatty or oily matter (polishing lubricant) to give good “leafing” properties.
3.2 The residue retained on a No. 100 (150-μm) sieve, using alcohol as the wash liquid, shall not exceed 0.2 % (in accordance
with Test Methods D185).
3.3 The powder shall have good “leafing” properties. (By “leafing” is understood the property of forming an apparently
continuous brilliant film over the entire free surface of a mixture of the powder in a suitable liquid (Note 1), within 1 min after
cessation of stirring the mixture.) In testing for leafing properties the powder shall be mixed in the proportion of 3 to 4 lb (370
to 475 g/L) to a gallon (3.8 L) of the liquid. As thus mixed it shall also give a free flowing, smooth, continuous coating in
accordance with Test Methods D480.
NOTE 1—A suitable liquid is made by mixing spar varnish conforming to the U. S. Federal Specification for Water-Resisting Spar Varnish (No.
A-A-1800) with turpentine conforming to Specification D13 in such proportions that the mixture will have a viscosity of 0.65 to 0.85 poises (B to C on
