6、(Withdrawn 2021)33.Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of water reducible coating is placed on thewalls of a test tube with a drawdown rod and purged withnitrogen.The evolved formaldehyde is collected in deionizedwater with tandem impingers and measured colorimetricallyusing acetylacetone at 412 nm.4
7、.Significance and Use4.1 This test method measures the amount of formaldehydethat is released from a coating under laboratory conditions.Theamount of formaldehyde available for release from a coatingmay vary depending on composition,and may decrease as thesample ages.4.2 This test method may be used
8、 for typical air dried paintswhere water is the major volatile material.The useful range isestimated to be from 10 ppm to 1000 ppm formaldehyde in thesample.4.3 Significant amounts of other volatile aldehydes,such asacetaldehyde,are reported to cause an interference with thedetermination of formalde
