When suitably thinned with water in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, for roller, brush, or spray application, the paint shall mix readily with a minimum amount of foaming to a smooth and homogeneous state. The foaming, if any, shall dissipate rapidly.

Opacity and Spreading rate, When tested, the paint shall be of good opacity and shall be able to cover well at not more than two coats, with a spreading rate not less than 10m² per litre for premium and 8m² per litre for standard, economy, and interior emulsion paints.

Drying Properties, After applying a coat of paint on a glass panel  giving a wet film thickness of approximately 50μm at standard test conditions, the paint shall be surface dry at the end of 210 minutes and shall dry to a suitable condition for recoating after 2 hours. Appearance and Properties of Dry Paint Film, Specula Gloss 85° (Shoon). After applying a coat of paint by means of a spreading device on a gloss panel, the dry paint film shall have the 85⁰ specula gloss given below relevant to the type of finish specified by manufacturer. Egg Shell (85°) = 15.60. Colour, The colour of the paint specified shall match that of the standard colour chip. Resistance to Wet Abrasion, the paint shall show no film defects at 51 cycles for interior paints, 101 cycles for economy emulsion paints, 201 cycles for standard emulsion paints, and 501 cycles for premium emulsion paint.

Resistance to External Exposure, the paint shall show no paint defects of cracking, blistering, flaking and colour fading.
