ABSTRACT

Methods for objectively deriving quantitative application characteristics of a
coating composition or applicator independent of human application variation.
The method comprises applying a coating composition to a test bed using a
coating composition applicator using a controlled sensing arm according to one
or more pre-programmed movement routines, sensing force, torque, or
combinations thereof while preventing relative movement of the test bed and
controlled sensing arm, and deriving a quantitative application characteristic
of the coating composition that is independent of human variation.
