Drying Time
The various stages of drying and curing that occur in films are easy to detect but difficult to define in terms of chemical and physical principles. Several factors such as oxidation, evaporation, and polymerization impact the drying time. Additional physical factors impact the drying time: wet film thickness, substrate, temperature, humidity, air circulation and light exposure. In order to evaluate the objectively it is necessary to use dry time recorder under controlled conditions.
