  • the soda solution is held at a temperature of 75°C.
  • a bottle is attached to an electric stirrer by a stirring shaft equipped with a clamp that holds the bottle in place by clampi ng it between the inside and outside of the bottle.
  • the bottle is lowered into soda solution.
  • a stopwatch is started and the bottle is set to rotate.
  • the rotation speed is set to at 25 rotations per minute in a clock wide direction.
  • the amounts listed in tine table are in % by weight if the material in the table is aqueous, it is the % by weight of the aqueous material
  • the remaining amount of the composition is made yp of a3 ⁇ 4 aqueous alkali soluble acrylic copolymer saponified with ammonia. So, for example Coml is 100% aqueous alkali soluble acrylic copolymer saponified with ammonia.
  • the properties listed for the materials in the table tie. solids, pH, etc ) are as repotted by the supplier.
