METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER-REPELLENT SOLUTIONS
This Malaysian Standard prescribes a method to measure the initial effectiveness of water-repellent solutions, with or without wood preservatives, applied to wood or joinery as surface brush-on to retard moisture uptake.
The test measures only the water-repellent effectiveness of the fluid and is not concerned with differences in treated components due to loading and distribution differences attributable to various methods of application.
