Paint Quantity Estimation: Application Loss
Paint Quantity Estimation: Application Loss
Paint Losses:
Loss due to surface roughness (Applicable For First 10 %
Coast Only)
Loss due to distribution or Over –application (Ranges 30 %
from 20 to 40%)
Application Loss 5 %
Loss due to wastage 3 %
Total Loss Percentage 48
Application Loss:
Well ventilated but confined spaces 5%
Outdoors in almost static air 10%
Outdoors in windy conditions 20%
