BS EN ISO 19403-4:2020 Paints and varnishes. Wettability - Determination of the polar and dispersive fractions of the surface tension of liquids from an interfacial tension
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method to determine the polar and dispersive fraction
of the surface tension of liquids with optical methods. The method can be applied
for the characterization of liquid coating materials, especially when drying effects
occur during measurement. The applicability can be restricted for liquids with non-Newtonian
rheology 1) .
This document assumes that the information of surface tension of the liquid to be
tested, as well as at least one suitable reference liquid, is known.
