3.1 Daniel flow point or wetting point
While the choice of powder materials is of prime importance when designing paint formulations, the ability to "coat" them with a minimum of binder during "grinding" is one of the formulator's main concerns. To this end, a method known as Daniel's Flow Point is available, which can be determined as follows.

First step: determining the Wet Point
The "Wet Point" involves determining the volume of binder required to wet the powdered materials and obtain a coherent mass, expressed in milliliters...
