1、Designation:D778613(Reapproved 2019)Standard Test Method forDetermining Enamel Holdout1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7786;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in pa
2、rentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This standard provides a method for determining theholdout characteristics of a primer and topcoat coating appli-cation.A standard topcoat is used to d
