Film Application / Test Charts

The term “Opacity Chart” refers to charts on which the test pattern is a simple combination of black and white areas, large enough for wider aperture reflectance instruments, as well as for visual opacity and colour observations. Used to test the hiding power of the coating, using large black and white areas.   Technical Specification Part Number Description Chart Dimensions Box Weight Quantity per Box Boxes per Case Box Case mm inches K0004695M003 K0004695M203 Leneta Chart 2A 140 x 254 … Read More

Designed for informal brushout applications, thicker paper is used for the testing of coatings applied with a brush or roller. The paper stock is almost twice the thickness of regular chart paper to give greater rigidity for more convenient handling – nominal thickness 0.5mm (20 mils). Brushout Cards are also used widely for drawdowns and colorimetric measurements.

The stripes are numbered 1 to 6, representing uniform steps of increasing contrast. The hiding power of the applied coatings is rated as the number of the darkest stripe that is completely (or almost completely) obscured, at a specified thickness or spread rate. Form CU-1 is used for more practical large-area brush or … Read More
