What is ISO 787-9-Pigments and extenders about?
ISO 787 discusses pigments and extenders. ISO 787-9 is the ninth part of the ISO 787 multi-series and discusses the determination of the pH value of an aqueous suspension.
ISO 787-9 specifies a general method of test for determining the pH value of an aqueous suspension of a sample of pigment or extender.
Who is ISO 787-9-Pigments and extenders for?
ISO 787-9 on pigments and extenders is useful for
- Paint manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 787-9-Pigments and extenders for?
An extender pigment is a naturally occurring chemical substance (usually having a white color) that is added to paint or coating to improve its properties such as durability, cost, and resistance to corrosion or wear. ISO 787-9 provides you with a test to determine the pH value of an aqueous suspension of a sample of pigment or extender.
ISO 787-9 also guides you with sampling, test procedures, and test reports. ISO 787-9 helps you to improve the quality of your paints and their properties such as durability, cost, and resistance to corrosion or wear.
