ASTM Develops Standard for Acrylic Dispersion Ground
W. CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - While artist paints have been the focus of many standards for fine art materials, a new ASTM standard is devoted to something that gets used before the paint: acrylic dispersion ground, a liquid applied as a coating to prepare surfaces for paint.
The new standard, ASTM D 7733, Specification for Acrylic Dispersion Ground, was developed by Subcommittee D01.57 on Artist Paints and Related Materials, part of ASTM International Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials and Applications.
