Notes:
Methods are described for determination of particle size D of paint atomized in an electrostatic field and for measurement of band width B and wraparound ratio W of a film pattern produced under standard conditions. A quantitative “figure of merit” F, defined as the ratio BW/D, can be correlated with qualitative aberrations of electrospray efficiency. This quantitative measure provides a more efficient guide to experiments directed toward upgrading electrospray performance of otherwise useful paints. Some examples are cited to demonstrate that incorporation of highly charged colloidal particles have significant effects on electrospray efficiency of paints containing vehicles of low conductivity.
