Coating Hiding Power Paper

Covering power paper is a testing substrate coated with specific black-and-white grid patterns, used to evaluate the hiding ability by observing the degree to which the black-and-white grids disappear after the coating is applied. The principle is based on the scattering and absorption of light within the coating, where the light cannot penetrate to the underlying pattern when the coating thickness is sufficient. It is used for quickly comparing the hiding effects of different formulations during paint production, guiding adjustments to pigment concentration or dispersion processes.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to the base paper grammage of 150-200 g/m² to ensure flatness, with clear black-and-white grid boundaries and no burrs. The coating absorbency should be moderate to avoid overly rapid absorption affecting the scraping process. Choose a solvent-resistant paper base corresponding to the type of test paint: use offset paper for water-based paints and coated paper for oil-based paints. Store in an environment with approximately 50% humidity to prevent curling.
