11、the nature of the coating tested.NOTE1Distilled water is suitable for most paints.Exceptions arecoatings that contain ingredients that are readily leached out of the dryfilm by the water and low-gloss coatings,the surface of which is poorlywet by water even with surfactant added.(Note 2)Low-solvency
12、hydrocarbon solvent(KB below 36)is also practical for most paints andis preferred by some workers.4It is considered to be particularly good forpaint films not readily wet by water.Analogously,organic solvents mustnot be used if the coating to be tested contains ingredients that will bedissolved read
