Abstract: | Model coatings with known composition were assessed for liquid water permeability both as single coat systems and combined
as primers and topcoats to form regularly used coating systems—in total 38 different systems. The water permeability of the
coatings, expressed as water absorption value, was measured by a method similar to the method that now is proposed as a European
standard for the assessment of liquid water permeability. During artificial weathering, the samples were measured for a water
absorption value, thus showing the change in water permeability as a function of weathering.
The study has shown that an excess of surfactants in the alkyd emulsions has a negative effect on the coating’s ability to
exclude water from the test samples. A waterborne acrylic paint based on a dispersion of larger particle size (0.4 μm) showed
a poor ability to exclude water compared to a similar paint based on smaller dispersion particles (0.1 μm). The alkyd emulsion
paints, as single coats, showed high water absorption values compared to solventborne paints and acrylic paints.
