Specified film coating material.

Record the measured coated area and a wet or dry film thickness already specified.

Read the right quantitative data

Solids fraction and dilution basis when converting a supplied dry-film requirement.

Check this ordering assumption

Wet thickness and dry thickness cannot be exchanged without the correct supplied solids basis.

Wet-film thickness = specified dry thickness / volume-solids fraction; wet volume = area × wet thickness × coats.Translate a supplied ordinary decorative coating dry-film thickness and volume solids into theoretical wet coating volume. Never selects a thickness or validates a coating system; excludes protective and fire-rated applications.

Theoretical wet coating volume: 10 L

Wet-film thickness per coat
0.1 mm
Total specified dry-film volume
0.01 m³

Ideal arithmetic without absorption, texture, transfer loss or package rounding. Decorative coatings only; no protective, fire-rated or regulated coating specification.
