Solvent Separation Test:
This test is conducted at 23EC in a 100 ml tester fitted with a stopper, having a total height of approximately 25 cm and a uniform internal diameter of approximately 3 cm over the calibrated part. The paint is stirred to obtain a uniform consistency, and is poured in the tester up to the 100 ml mark; the stopper is inserted, and the tester is left undisturbed for 24 hours. Then, the height of the upper separated layer is measured, and the percentage of height of this layer as compared with the total sample height is calculated.
