** NBAC = 100 for reference (NBAC = n Butyl Acetate)

* Solubility Test

Paint : Solvent (Sample + Toluene 9) = 2 : 1 which is titrated by n-Hexane

* Detergency Test

Test Procedure is as follows

Plate is dipped in paint of polyurethane resin.

Take out plate to dry for 1 min. in air.

Dip the plate in solvent for 30 seconds.

Take out plate and dry for 30 seconds in air.

One cycle from procedure 2 to 4.

Repeat procedure 2 to 4 until paint is peeled off.

* Drying Test

Paint (polyurethane) : Solvent 2 : 1 which is coated on the plate. The drying time is measured by finger contact.
