About This Item
ASTM D4139 is the ASTM standard guide for determining volatile and nonvolatile content of pigments, offering a practical framework for evaluating a pigment’s composition by measuring what may be driven off and what remains. This matters because volatile and nonvolatile fractions can affect handling, formulation consistency, and product quality. ASTM D4139 helps provide a common technical basis for comparing pigments and supporting reliable quality control in testing and procurement decisions.
ASTM D4139 standard overview
The Standard Guide for Determining Volatile and Nonvolatile Content of Pigments is intended to guide users in assessing pigment content in a structured, repeatable way. As an ASTM standard, it supports consistent laboratory and production testing by defining a shared approach to separating volatile from nonvolatile portions. In practice, ASTM D4139 is useful when a clear understanding of pigment composition is needed for evaluation, specification review, or incoming material verification.
Where is ASTM D4139 used?
This guide is commonly used in laboratories and quality control settings that work with pigments and pigment-containing materials. It may support testing workflows where material composition needs to be checked before use, acceptance, or further formulation. ASTM D4139 is relevant to organizations that compare pigment lots, verify supplier data, or document product characteristics for technical review. Its use is especially practical wherever consistent pigment evaluation is part of routine material control.
Practical importance of ASTM D4139
ASTM D4139 matters because it helps create a consistent basis for determining pigment volatile and nonvolatile content, which supports better product evaluation and fewer surprises in use. A shared testing guide can improve comparability between suppliers, reduce ambiguity in specifications, and strengthen quality control decisions. For buyers, manufacturers, and testing labs, this standard can help lower risk by making pigment assessment more transparent and more reproducible.
