This standard specifies a method for testing the length of time latex paints remain in a "wet" or "open" state. This is essential for assessing the handling capacity of coatings during painting and patching, especially for latex paints with low VOC formulations. By measuring the opening time of coatings before drying, the standard helps manufacturers and users understand the actual application performance of coatings, thereby optimizing the product experience and construction results.
