ALTANA BYK 2710 - Manual

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
The Recorders define stages in the drying process as:-
Stage 1 A pear shaped impression corresponding to the time taken for evaporation of solvent.
Stage 2 The cutting of a continuous track, corresponding to a sol-gel transition.
Stage 3 An interrupted track corresponding to the surface-dry time.
Stage 4 The needle no longer penetrates the film, corresponding to the final drying time.
Brass weights, each weighing 5 grams, may be used to apply greater pressure on the needles and thus
record the through-drying properties of alkyds, varnishes and paints. The BK Drying Recorders will
give useful information about the gelation times of many two component surface coating materials, and
about the properties of such films.
