Paints and varnishes - Determination of hiding power - Part 1: Kubelka-Munk method for white and light-coloured paints (ISO 6504-1:1983)

This standard specifies a method to be  used for determining the hiding power  (preading rate necessary to give a contrast  ratio of 89 %) of white or light.coloured  paints. It is restricted to paint films having a  tri-stimulus value of Y greater than/equal to  70. It is not applicable to fluorescent or  metallic paints.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of developing International
Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member body
interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the
right to be represented on that committee. Jnternational organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council.
International Standard ISO 6504/1 was developed by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, and was circulated to the member bodies in
April 1981.
lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries :
