Overview

oSIST prEN ISO 787-9:2026:2026 is an international draft standard developed by CEN and ISO, titled “General methods of test for pigments and extenders – Part 9: Determination of pH value of an aqueous suspension.” This document provides a standardized method for determining the pH value of an aqueous suspension of pigments or extenders. Consistency in testing equipment and procedures is essential for the reliable assessment of pigments and extenders used in numerous industries, including paints, coatings, plastics, and construction materials.

Understanding the pH value of pigment and extender suspensions is critical, as it directly affects compatibility, stability, and end-use performance in formulations. This standard is aligned with broader quality control and product characterization strategies, supporting manufacturers and laboratories in achieving reproducible and internationally recognized test results.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Purpose
    The standard details the procedure for preparing a suspension of pigment or extender in water (or an optional ion intensity regulating solution) and measuring its pH value with precision.

  • Reagents and Apparatus

    • Use of distilled or demineralized water (ISO 3696) with controlled pH and purity
    • Optionally, preparation of a 0.1% potassium chloride (KCl) ion intensity regulating solution
    • Use of chemically resistant glass containers with clean, unused stoppers
    • Employment of a calibrated pH measurement device with at least 0.1 unit accuracy
  • Sampling and Procedure

    • Guidelines for representative sampling following ISO 15528
    • Instructions for preparing 5–10% (mass fraction) suspensions
    • Steps for mixing, settling, and accurate pH measurement, including the management of wetting agents (e.g., ethanol or methanol) if needed
    • Temperature recording and notes on any deviations or anomalies during testing
  • Reporting Requirements

    • Comprehensive test report including sample identification, suspension details, filtering, wetting agents used, result expression, temperature, and any procedural deviations

Applications

The methods outlined in oSIST prEN ISO 787-9:2026:2026 are directly applicable to a variety of commercial and industrial settings where pigments and extenders are used:

  • Paints and Coatings
    Ensuring pigment pH compatibility with binders reduces risks of instability or adverse chemical reactions.

  • Plastics and Polymers
    Reliable pH values help optimize pigment dispersion and prevent undesirable changes in polymer matrices.

  • Adhesives, Sealants, and Construction Materials
    Accurate pH measurement supports predictability in product interactions and long-term durability.

  • Quality Control in Manufacturing
    Laboratories rely on standardized methods to assess incoming raw materials, intermediate batches, and finished products for specification compliance.

  • Research and Product Development
    Consistent pH measurements are valuable for characterizing new pigment formulations or modifying existing ones for specialized applications.

Related Standards

Organizations and professionals using oSIST prEN ISO 787-9:2026:2026 may also refer to these related standards for comprehensive pigment and extender testing:

  • ISO 3696: Water for analytical laboratory use – Specification and test methods
    Ensures the adequacy of water quality used in preparing suspensions.

  • ISO 15528: Paints, varnishes, and raw materials for paints and varnishes – Sampling
    Addresses the correct procedures for obtaining representative samples.

  • ISO 18451-1: Pigments, dyestuffs, and extenders – Terminology – Part 1: General terms
    Provides standard definitions and terminology used throughout the pigment industry.

Moreover, oSIST prEN ISO 787-9:2026:2026 is part of the broader ISO 787 series, which covers general test methods crucial for global trade, compliance, and harmonization within the pigments and extenders sector.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
