Moisture Content Determination in Paints
Moisture Content Determination in Paints

Dry or moisture content determination plays a critical role in the quality and consistency of all types of paints. In solvent-based paints, moisture is typically referred to as volatile organic content (VOC). In water-based paints and emulsions, the critical parameter is the evaluation of dry content.

There are many types of paints and coatings that are used in multiple applications from home décor to automobile and industrial usages. Measuring moisture in paints is governed by various regulatory bodies around the world, according to the industry, application, and type of paint formulation.
