Abstract
Empirical approaches used in developing methods for evaluating the performance of materials are discussed. Principles required to develop more reliable accelerated tests are outlined. An application of the use of basic property measurements is illustrated with clear finishes for wood. The reasons for relating the selected properties to performance and the relation of coating composition to the properties are reviewed. Finally, an equation to predict durability from basic properties is developed and compared with durability ratings from exterior exposures.
