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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 4619 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4619:1980),
of which it constitutes an editorial revision.

3  Definition
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies.
3.1  drier: A compound, usually a metallic soap, that is added to products drying by oxidation in order to accelerate
this process.
4  Descriptions
4.1  Solid driers
Solid driers are materials which may be manufactured in a hard, soft (highly viscous) or powder form.
4.2  Liquid driers
Liquid driers are materials which are supplied as solutions in organic solvents, usually white spirit.
NOTE —  Emulsifiable driers are also available, but no requirements for this type are given in this International Standard.
All these types of drier, when dissolved in solvents (normally hydrocarbons), impart specific drying properties
depending on the metal used.
4.3  Metals used
The following metals are used: cobalt, manganese, lead, zinc, calcium, cerium (or other rare earths), iron,
zirconium, vanadium, barium, aluminium, strontium, etc.
NOTE —  In this International Standard, methods for determination of metal content are given only for those metals which are
in common use.
4.4  Acids used
The following acids are used: fatty acids of linseed oils, tall-oil fatty acids, resinic acids, naphthenic acids,
2-ethylhexanoic acid, fatty iso-acids with 9 carbon atoms, other fatty acids with 9 to 11 carbon atoms, etc.
5  Requirements and test methods
5.1  Driers for paints shall comply with the requirement given in table 1.
5.2  Driers named according to the commercial name of the main acid used shall contain at least 90 % of this acid,
except for driers based on naphthenic acids, which shall contain at least 70 % of these acids, expressed as a
percentage of the total mass of acid present.
NOTE —  If desired, the type and content of the acids may be determined by gas-chromatographic (GC) analysis, except in
the case of naphthenic acids.
6  Sampling
Take a representative sample of the drier to be tested, as described in ISO 842.

7.3  Solubility (miscibility) in solvents, raw linseed oil or other drying media
Slowly heat, raising the temperature at a rate of 1 °C/min, 5 g of the drier and 20 g of an agreed solvent (or drying
medium) under reflux on a sand bath, with stirring, until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
Allow to cool to room temperature and examine the solution for clarity, clouding and any separation or deposit.
7.4  Stability of solution
Allow three portions of the solution obtained by the method specified in 7.3 to stand for 7 days in stoppered bottles,
one at each of the following temperatures:
a) 0 °C;
b) ambient temperature;
c) 50 °C.
After 1 day and again after 7 days, examine the solutions for clarity, clouding sedimentation or gelation.
The bottle used for the test at 50 °C shall be able to withstand the pressure generated.
7.5  Suspended solid matter
Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 g, 5 g of solid drier (or 10 g of liquid drier) into a glass flask and dissolve in (or dilute with)
100 g of white spirit or an agreed solvent. Stopper the flask allow to stand at ambient temperature for 3 days, then
filter off the sediment or suspended matter using a glass filter crucible of porosity P 16 (see ISO 4793). Wash the
residue on the filter with the solvent and dry it at 105 °C for 3 h. Cool to ambient temperature and weigh to the
nearest 1 mg.
Calculate the suspended solid matter, as a percentage by mass, using the formula
m
1
× 100
m
0
where
m is the mass, in grams, of the test portion;
0
m is the mass, in grams, of the residue.

7.6  Volatile matter
Proceed according to ISO 3251, taking a flat-bottomed glass of aluminium dish and a test portion of (1 – 0,02) g.
Place the dish with the test portion in the air oven, maintained at (105 – 2) °C. Leave it in the oven at this
temperature for 3 h.
7.7  Acidity or basicity
7.7.1  Principle
A solution of the drier in toluene/propan-2-ol is passed through a strong acid cation exchanger and the total acid in
the eluate is determined. From the total acid determined, the acid combined with the metal is subtracted.
If a negative value for the acidity is obtained, the drier tested is a basic drier.

The method is suitable for driers containing barium, calcium, cobalt, lead or zinc as metals, but is not applicable to
driers containing cerium, iron, manganese or zirconium as metals.
In such cases, the method shall be agreed between the interested parties.
7.7.2  Reagents
7.7.2.1  Cation exchanger: a strong-acid, ring-sulfonated polystyrene resin (for example, Merck 1, Dowex 50,
1)
Amberlite IR 120) .
7.7.2.2  Propan-2-ol.
7.7.2.3  Toluene.
7.7.2.4  Hydrochloric acid, approximately 5 % (m/m) solution.
7.7.2.5  Potassium hydroxide, approximately 0,2 mol/l standard volumetric solution in 96 % (V/V) ethanol.
7.7.2.6  Phenolphthalein, 1 % (m/m) solution in 96 % (V/V) ethanol.
7.7.3  Apparatus
Ordinary laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
7.7.3.1  Suitable ion-exchange column, as shown in figure 1, for instance.
7.7.4  Preparation of the ion-exchange column
Fill the ion-exchange column (7.7.3) with a quantity of the swollen ion-exchange resin (7.7.2.1) so that the height of
resin in the column is about 170 mm. Pour 250 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution (7.7.2.4) gradually into the
exchange column in order to change the resin into the hydrogen form. Drain off slowly, at about 1 or 2 drops/s
(= 5 ml/min). When the acid has drained off completely, wash the resin successively with several 350 ml portions of
water. The final washings shall not be acid to litmus paper. Then displace the water in the exchange column
by 50 ml of the propan-2-ol (7.7.2.2) and finally displace the propan-2-ol with 50 ml of a mixture (1 + 1) of the
propan-2-ol and the toluene (7.7.2.3).
Do not use this column for more than about 50 milliequivalents of total metal.
7.7.5  Procedure
Weigh, to the nearest 1 mg, about 8 g of the drier to be tested into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask and dissolve
it in 50 ml of the toluene (7.7.2.3). Dilute to the mark with the propan-2-ol (7.7.2.2) and mix well. Pipette 25 ml of the
solution into the ion-exchange column (7.7.4) and adjust the rate of flow to 5 ml/min. Collect the eluate in a 500 ml
conical flask. When all the liquid has soaked through the resin, wash the exchange column with 150 ml of a mixture
(1 + 1) of the propan-2-ol and the toluene, and collect the washings in the 500 ml conical flask, allowing them to
drain of completely. Add a few drops of the phenolphthalein solution (7.7.2.6) to the eluate and titrate with the
potassium hydroxide solution (7.7.2.5) to the end-point.

8  Methods of test for liquid driers
8.1  Appearance
Examine the sample visually for uniformity, clarity, suspended matter or sediment.
8.2  Colour
Compare the colour of the liquid drier against that of an agreed sample or colour standard.
8.3  Solubility (miscibility) in solvents, raw linseed oil or other drying media
Prepare a mixture as follows:
Raw linseed oil, complying with ISO 150 (see the note): 16 parts by volume
Mineral solvents. e.g. white spirit with an aromatic content
of approximately 25 % (V/V) (see below): 4 parts by volume
The drier under test (at standard strength) (see below): 1 part by volume
NOTE —  In the case of driers containing calcium, barium or rare earths, it is recommended that an air-drying alkyd resin
[non-volatile content at least 60 % (m/m)] be used instead of linseed oil.
Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 6 h and then examine it for clarity, noting any clouding,
separation or deposit.
The exact aromatic content of the solvent shall be agreed between the interested parties.
For the purpose of this test, the standard strength of the drier is defined, in % (m/m), as
6 Co 6 Ce (or other rare earths)
