About This Item
ASTM D4713 is the ASTM standard for nonvolatile content in heatset and liquid printing ink systems, helping define a consistent way to evaluate the portion of ink that remains after volatile components are removed. This matters because nonvolatile content is often tied to formulation control, product consistency, and performance expectations in printing operations. By providing a common testing reference, the standard supports clearer communication between suppliers, laboratories, and end users.
Overview of ASTM D4713
The official title, Standard Test Methods for Nonvolatile Content of Heatset and Liquid Printing Ink Systems, indicates a test-focused document for measuring the nonvolatile portion of these ink systems. In practical terms, it helps users assess how much material is present after evaporation or drying-related loss, which can be important for comparing formulations and verifying production quality. ASTM D4713 is commonly used as a technical reference when repeatable test results are needed for printing ink evaluation and quality control.
Common use cases of ASTM D4713
This standard is commonly used in laboratory and manufacturing settings where heatset or liquid printing inks are tested for consistency and specification compliance. It may be applied during product development, incoming material checks, batch release testing, or supplier qualification. ASTM D4713 is especially relevant when teams need a dependable method to compare ink systems and confirm that a formulation meets internal targets for nonvolatile content.
Benefits of using ASTM D4713
Using ASTM D4713 can improve consistency in testing and help reduce ambiguity when evaluating printing ink systems. A recognized ASTM standard supports better procurement decisions, more reliable quality control, and more defensible product comparisons. It also helps align testing practices across organizations, which can reduce disputes and improve confidence in reported results. For businesses working with heatset and liquid printing inks, this standard can be a practical tool for compliance and technical review.
