Standard Test Method for Print Resistance of Lacquers
Standard Test Method for Print Resistance of Lacquers
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1 An unsatisfactory appearance can result from pressure deformation of a film inherently too soft or containing residual solvent. This test method is primarily used to evaluate the resistance of a lacquer finish to printing under the conditions of packaging, shipping, and warehousing. SCOPE 1.1 This test method covers the resistance of dried lacquer films to imprinting. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
ASTM D2091-96(2024), titled Standard Test Method for Print Resistance of Lacquers, is an internationally recognized ASTM standard that specifies test procedures to evaluate the resistance of dried lacquer films to imprinting, commonly known as print resistance. This standard plays a key role in ensuring finishes maintain their intended appearance and durability when exposed to pressure during handling, packaging, shipping, and storage. By defining precise test conditions, ASTM D2091 helps manufacturers, suppliers, and quality control professionals assess the suitability of lacquer finishes for various industrial and commercial applications.
ASTM D2091 is widely implemented in numerous industries where the visual quality and integrity of lacquer finishes are critical. Key application areas include:
