Paints and varnishes - Determination of hiding power - Part 3: Determination of hiding power of paints for masonry and concrete (ISO 6504-3:2019)

EN-ISO 6504-3 specifies methods for determining the hiding power given by paint coats of white or light colours of tristimulus values Y and Y10 greater than 25, applied to a black and white chart, or to a colourless transparent foil. In the latter case the tristimulus values Y and Y10 are measured over black and white panels. Subsequently, the hiding power is calculated from these tristimulus values. This document also specifies a simple method for calculating the spreading rate for paints with a volatile matter content with low evaporation speed, e.g. coatings for interior walls and ceilings as specified in EN 13300.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung des Deckvermögens - Teil 3: Bestimmung des Deckvermögens von Beschichtungen für mineralische Untergründe und Beton (ISO 6504-3:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zum Bestimmen des Deckvermögens von weißen oder hellen pigmentierten Beschichtungen [im Folgenden auf Deutsch kurz Beschichtungen genannt] mit den Farbwerten Y und Y10 größer als 25 fest, die auf schwarzweiße Kontrollkarten oder farblose, transparente Folie aufgetragen werden. Im letzteren Fall werden die Farbwerte Y und Y10 über schwarzweißen Platten gemessen. Anschließend wird das Deckvermögen aus diesen Farbwerten berechnet.
Dieses Dokument legt außerdem ein einfaches Verfahren zum Berechnen der Ergiebigkeit von Beschichtungsstoffen mit flüchtigen Anteilen mit geringer Verdunstungsgeschwindigkeit fest, z. B. Beschichtungen für Innenwände und Decken, wie in EN 13300 festgelegt.

Peintures et vernis - Détermination du pouvoir masquant - Partie 3: Détermination du pouvoir masquant pour des peintures bâtiments et béton (ISO 6504-3:2019)

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes de détermination du pouvoir masquant de couches de peinture blanche ou de peinture claire dont les valeurs du tristimulus Y et Y10 sont supérieures à 25, appliquées sur une carte à contraste de noir et de blanc, ou sur une feuille transparente et incolore. Dans ce dernier cas, les valeurs du tristimulus Y et Y10 sont mesurées sur des plaques noires et blanches. Ensuite, le pouvoir masquant est calculé à partir de ces valeurs du tristimulus.
Le présent document spécifie également une méthode simple pour calculer le rendement surfacique de peintures ayant une teneur en matières volatiles à vitesse d'évaporation lente, par exemple de revêtements pour murs et plafonds intérieurs comme spécifié dans l'EN 13300.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

— a new method (method C), which is suitable for waterborne coating materials only, has been
introduced;
— the determination of the mass per unit area of the dry coating and the determination of the practical
spreading rate have been deleted (ISO 3233-3 can be used instead);
— the reference to a fixed spreading rate has been deleted from the foreword, scope and test report (it
had already been deleted from the procedure in the previous edition);
— the historic precision values for methods A and B have been deleted from the normative part and
information on a new interlaboratory comparison on method C has been added in an informative
annex, i.e. Annex A;
— the normative references have been updated.

ISO 6504-3:2019(E)

Introduction
Two techniques are available for substrate preparation and measurement when determining the hiding
power of paints for masonry and concrete:
a) application to colourless, transparent foil, the coated foil being subsequently placed in turn over
black and white panels;
b) direct application to black and white charts.
The spreading rate is important for the determination of the hiding power ratio. The spreading rate can
be either determined according to ISO 3233-3 or according to another simplified method described in
the standards applicable to coating materials for interior walls and ceilings as specified in EN 13300.
Because different operators using the same draw-down device will obtain coatings differing
significantly in thickness, an absolute method for the determination of opacity is described in this
document. Collaborative trials between groups of experts from a number of countries have shown
that reproducible results can be obtained by determination of the hiding power corresponding to a
precisely specified spreading rate by interpolation between measurements at two or more measured
coating thicknesses nearby and enclosing the specified spreading rate. The interested parties might
agree on the specified spreading rate.
The methods are based on the observation that hiding power is an approximately linear function of
reciprocal spreading rate, over a restricted coating thickness range which also corresponds to that used
for normal application of white or light-coloured paints. It is thus possible to interpolate graphically
or by computation, with satisfactory accuracy, between results obtained with coatings of different
thicknesses.

1 Scope
This document specifies methods for determining the hiding power given by paint coats of white or
light colours of tristimulus values Y and Y greater than 25, applied to a black and white chart, or to a
10
colourless transparent foil. In the latter case the tristimulus values Y and Y are measured over black
10
and white panels. Subsequently, the hiding power is calculated from these tristimulus values.
This document also specifies a simple method for calculating the spreading rate for paints with
a volatile matter content with low evaporation speed, e.g. coatings for interior walls and ceilings as
specified in EN 13300.

5 Principle
For method A, coated transparent foils are fixed over a black and white panel. The spreading rate is
calculated from the measurements of the surface mass density and the theoretical dry-film thickness.
The tristimulus values Y of the coated foils are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding
10
power is calculated as a quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated foil.
For method B, black and white charts are coated and dried (or stoved). The spreading rate is calculated
from the measurements of the surface mass density and the theoretical dry-film thickness. The
tristimulus values Y of each coated chart are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding
10
power is calculated as a quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated chart.
For method C, black and white charts are coated. The spreading rate is calculated from the
measurements of the coated area (whole charts), of the density of the coating material and the mass
difference of the uncoated and coated charts. Then the coating is dried. The tristimulus values Y of
10
each coated chart are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding power is calculated as a
quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated chart.
6 Apparatus
Ordinary laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
6.1 Substrate, conforming to the requirements of 8.1.1 or 8.1.2.
6.2 Three colourless transparent foils (method A), untreated.

6.3 Three black and white charts (method B) and two or four (see 6.4) black and white charts
(method C), all the same size and measuring at least 100 mm × 200 mm, printed and varnished to give
adjacent black and white areas readily wetted by, but impervious to, solvent- or water-based paints.
The black and white areas shall have dimensions bigger than the measurement area of the
spectrophotometer. The tristimulus value Y of the white areas of the charts shall be 80 ± 2 when
10
measured using a spectrophotometer or spectrophotometer complying with 6.5, and that of the black
area shall not be greater than 5, unless otherwise agreed.
To avoid errors due to variation from one batch of charts to another, the charts used for the test shall
come from the same batch.
If the chart is a metal plate, both the black and the white areas shall be coated on the back and edges
with black paint or adhesive tape to exclude light reflected from the back.
Ensure that only black and white charts without optical brighteners are used.
6.4 Film applicators, selected to give a range of films of uniform wet film thickness.
For method C, the film applicators need to be of slightly different sizes, i.e. max. 50 µm difference in size
in order to give suitable coating thicknesses, allowing the assumption of linearity in spreading rate for
the calculation. The gap of the applicators depends on the type of coating material and its viscosity.
The application of uniform films is facilitated by the use of automatic applicators, wh

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

— a definition for light-coloured coating has been added;
— a new method (Method C) has been introduced which is suitable for waterborne coatings only
— the determination of the mass per unit area of the dry coating and the determination of the practical
spreading rate have been deleted because ISO 3233-3 can be used instead;
— the reference to a fixed spreading rate has been deleted from the foreword, scope and test report, as
it had already been deleted from the procedure in the previous revision;
— the precision values for methods A and B have been recalculated from data taken from the round
robin test conducted in 1972;
— the normative references have been updated.

Introduction
Two techniques are available for substrate preparation and measurement when determining the hiding
power of paints:
a) application to colourless, transparent foil, the coated foil being subsequently placed in turn over
black and white panels;
b) direct application to black and white charts.
The spreading rate is important for the determination of the hiding power ratio. The spreading rate can
be either determined according to ISO 3233-3 or according to another simplified method described in
these standards, applicable for coatings for interior walls and ceilings as specified in EN 13300.
Because different operators using the same draw-down device will obtain coatings differing
significantly in thickness, an absolute method for the determination of opacity is required. Collaborative
trials between groups of experts from a number of countries have shown that reproducible results can
be obtained by determination of the hiding power corresponding to a precisely specified spreading
rate by interpolation between measurements at two or more measured coating thicknesses nearby and
enclosing the specified spreading rate. The interested parties may agree on the specified spreading rate.
The methods are based on the observation that hiding power is an approximately linear function of
reciprocal spreading rate, over a restricted coating thickness range which also corresponds to that used
for normal application of white or light-coloured paints. It is thus possible to interpolate graphically
or by computation, with satisfactory accuracy, between results obtained with coatings of different
thicknesses.

Paints and varnishes — Determination of hiding power —
Part 3:
Determination of hiding power of paints for masonry and
concrete
1 Scope
This document (ISO 6504-3) specifies methods for determining the hiding power given by paint coats of
white or light colours of tristimulus values Y and Y greater than 25, applied to a black and white chart,
10
or to a colourless transparent foil. In the latter case the tristimulus values Y and Y are measured over
10
black and white panels. Subsequently, the hiding power is calculated from these tristimulus values.
This document specifies also a simple method for calculating the spreading rate for paints with
a volatile matter content with low evaporation speed, e.g. coatings for interior walls and ceilings as
specified in EN 13300.

5 Principle
For method A, coated transparent foils are fixed over a black and white panel. The spreading rate is
calculated from the measurements of the surface mass density and the theoretical dry-film thickness.
The tristimulus values Y of the coated foils are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding
10
power is calculated as a quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated foil.
For method B, black and white charts are coated and dried (or stoved). The spreading rate is calculated
from the measurements of the surface mass density and the theoretical dry-film thickness. The
tristimulus values Y of each coated chart are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding
10
power is calculated as a quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated chart.
For method C, black and white charts are coated. The spreading rate is calculated from the
measurements of the coated area (whole charts), of the density of the coating material and the mass
difference of the uncoated and coated charts. Then the coating is dried. The tristimulus values Y of
10
each coated chart are measured over the black and white areas. The hiding power is calculated as a
quotient of these values as a percentage for each coated chart.
6 Apparatus
Ordinary laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
6.1 Substrate, conforming to the requirements of 8.1.1 or 8.1.2.
6.2 Three colourless transparent foils (Method A), untreated.

6.3 Three black and white charts (Method B) and two black and white charts (Method C), all the
same size and measuring at least 100 mm ´ 200 mm, printed and varnished to give adjacent black and
white areas readily wetted by, but impervious to, solvent- or water-based paints.
The black and white areas shall have dimensions bigger than the measurement area of the
spectrophotometer. The tristimulus value Y of the white areas of the charts shall be 80 ± 2 when
10
measured using a reflectometer or spectrometer complying with 6.5, and that of the black area shall
not be greater than 5, unless otherwise agreed.
To avoid errors due to variation from one batch of charts to another, the charts used for the test shall
come from the same batch.
If the chart is a metal plate, both the black and the white areas shall be coated on the back and edges
with black paint or adhesive tape to exclude light reflected from the back.
If black and white charts with optical brightener are used, this shall be stated in the test report.
6.4 Film applicators, selected to give a range of films of uniform wet film thickness.
For Method B and Method C the film applicators need to be of slightly different sizes, i.e. max. 50 µm
difference in size in order to give suitable coating thicknesses, allowing the assumption of linearity in
spreading rate for the calculation. The gap of the applicators depend on the type of coating material and
its viscosity.
NOTE The application of uniform films is facilitated by the use of automatic applicators, which are
recommended.
6.5 Spectrophotometer, to measure the tristimulus value Y .
10
It is recognized that the relative geometrical arrangement of the illumination beam and the light
detector can affect the measurement of Y , but it is considered that variations arising from this factor
10
in commercial reflectometers should be considerably less than the reproducibility figure stated in
Clause 9. For the sphere geometry the surface reflection is needed by either
a) reducing the tristimulus value Y by the corresponding surface reflection correction value in
10
Table 1 (an example see Figure 1) or
b) by measuring the tristimulus value Y with correction for surface reflection with a sphere 8°
10
(diffuse) geometry (an example see Figure 2).

8 Procedure and calculation
8.1 Preparation of substrate
8.1.1 Method A (foil)
Retain, for use in 8.4, an uncoated sample of foil from an area adjacent to the surface to be coated.
Fix it at one end and lay it over a flat rubber block. After application prepare the second foil in the
same manner.
8.1.2 Method B and Method C (black and white charts)
Store the black and white substrate charts under the test conditions [(23 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity
of (50 ± 5) %] for at least 16 h before coating; handle them at all times by the edges to avoid finger
prints on the areas to be coated.
Prepare each of the two charts for coating in the same manner. Fix one end, by clips or adhesive tape, to
a flat panel, using a vacuum suction plate or fixing it at one end, and lay it over a flat rubber block.
8.2 Preparation of coated foils or black and white charts
Immediately before application, mix the paint thoroughly by vigorous stirring to break down any
thixotropic structure, taking care not to incorporate air bubbles.
Apply the paint, depending on the coating thickness required, in a line across one end of the chart or foil
and spread it immediately by drawing down a suitable applicator at a steady speed to give a uniform layer.
