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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4618:2014(E/F)
Paints and varnishes — Terms and definitions
1 Scope
This International Standard defines terms used in the field of coating materials (paints, varnishes and
raw materials for paints and varnishes).
Terms relating to specific applications and properties are dealt with in standards concerning those
applications and properties, e.g. corrosion protection, coating powders.
Terms on nanotechnologies are harmonized with ISO/TS 80004-4.
In addition to terms in English and French (two of the three official ISO languages), this International
Standard gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the
member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages
can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
NOTE 1 Those terms that are defined elsewhere in this International Standard are shown in italics.
NOTE 2 See also the ISO online browsing platform (OBP): https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/
2 Terms and definitions
2.1
abrasion
process of wearing away or deformation of a surface by friction as a result of rubbing
2.2
abrasive blast-cleaning
impingement of a high-kinetic-energy stream of an abrasive on the surface to be prepared
2.3
accelerator
additive that increases the speed of chemical reactions
2.4
acid value
number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) required to neutralize 1 g of a sample under
specified test conditions
2.5
acrylic resin
synthetic resin resulting from the polymerization or copolymerization of acrylic and/or methacrylic
monomers, frequently together with other monomers
2.6
additive
any substance, added in small quantities to a coating material, to improve or otherwise modify one or
more properties
2.7
adhesion
phenomenon of attachment at the interface between a solid surface and another material caused by
molecular forces
Note 1 to entry: Adhesion should not be confused with cohesion.
ISO 4618:2014(E/F)
2.8
adhesive strength
force required to detach a coating from a substrate or another coating
2.9
aerosol
solid or liquid particles in dispersion in a gaseous medium
2.10
after tack
property of a film to remain sticky after normal drying or curing
2.11
ageing
change of one or more initial properties of a film during the passage of time
2.12
agglomerate
collection of weakly bound particles or aggregates or mixtures of the two where the resulting external
surface area is similar to the sum of the surface areas of the individual components
Note 1 to entry: The force applied to the aggregates/agglomerates during the paint making process can differ,
depending on the method used.
2.13
aggregate
particle comprising strongly bonded or fused particles where the resulting external surface area may be
significantly smaller than the sum of calculated surface areas of the individual components
