BS EN ISO 787-11:1995

What is ISO 787-11 - Tamped volume and density of pigments and extenders about?  

ISO 787-11 discusses pigments and extenders. The aim of the ISO 787 series is to provide best industry practices for pigments and extenders that helps in determining the characteristics of paints.

ISO 787-11 is the 11^th part of the ISO 787 series of standards that specifies a general method of test for determining the tamped volume and the apparent density after tamping of a sample of pigment or extender.

Who is ISO 787-11 - Tamped volume and density of pigments and extenders for? 

ISO 787-11 on pigments and extenders is useful for  

• Pigments and extenders manufacturers
• Paint manufacturers 
• Quality control personnel
• Product development teams

Why should you use ISO 787-11 - Tamped volume and density of pigments and extenders for? 

An extender pigment is a naturally occurring chemical substance (usually having a white color) that is added to paint or coating to improve its properties.

ISO 787-11 provides you with a test to determine the tamped volume and density of pigment or extender. ISO 787-11 also guides you with sampling, test procedures, and test reports.

If you are a manufacturer, ISO 787-11 can help you to improve the quality of your paints and their properties such as durability, cost, and resistance to corrosion or wear.
