ISO 4625-1 is an international standard on the determination of softening points of binders for Paints and varnishes using the global method. The standard specifies the experimental equipment, experimental procedures and data processing methods to be used in the global method testing. Specifically, the standard requires that samples of binders be tested at specific temperatures and times, and then the relative positions of the globes and balls are recorded to calculate the softening points of the binders. The standard also specifies the accuracy and Reliability requirements for the global method, as well as the manner in which test results are reported. The standard applies to a wide range of binders, including Coatings, Adhesives and Plastics, among others. By following this standard, accurate, reliable and comparable binder softening point test results can be obtained, providing a reference for binder selection and application.
