The ASTM D4958-16 standard test method is used to compare the brushing resistance of latex paints, which is the resistance exhibited by the coating during brushing. This method evaluates the drag effect during brushing through a standardized brushing procedure to help determine the ease of application of the coating. Increased brushing resistance usually increases the thickness of the film, which in turn improves its durability and hiding power. However, smaller brushing resistance may be beneficial for reducing application time and effort. This test method provides a reliable way to compare the brushing performance of different latex paints, providing a basis for Coating selection.
