Abstract:
1. A process for predicting amount of coarse flakes in a target coating composition comprising: (a) adding to a vessel of a flake prediction device a S (b) dispensing from an opening in said vessel said S (c) projecting on said L (d) measuring B (e) storing said B (f) repeating said steps (a) through (f) for S (g) locating intersecting points on a graph where said B (h) using a curve fitting equation to produce a flake amount prediction curve on said graph; (i) dispensing on said test substrate a L (j) projecting on said L (k) measuring B (l) locating said B (n) locating an intersecting point on said flake amount prediction curve that intersects with said B (p) predicting amount of said coarse flakes contained in said target composition by locating Y
