The ISO 9117-3 standard specifies a test method for the surface drying performance of Paints and varnishes, in particular the use of the balloon surface drying test (ballotini) to evaluate the drying speed and effect of films. This method observes the drying of films by spreading fine glass beads (balloons) on the surface of the film, evaluating its drying speed, uniformity and surface strength. This test provides Coating manufacturers and researchers with a simple and reliable evaluation tool for detecting the drying performance of different types of Coatings in practical applications, ensuring coating mass and construction efficiency.
