Pigment volume concentration is the ratio of

  • A.pigment mass to the total paint mass
  • B.pigment volume to the solvent volume
  • C.binder volume to the pigment volume
  • D.pigment volume to total solids volume

Answer: D

Correct answer: pigment volume to total solids volume

\[ \mathrm{PVC} = \frac{V_{pigment}}{V_{pigment}+V_{binder}}, \] expressed on the dry film, so solvent does not enter it. It is a volume ratio rather than a mass ratio because what matters is whether there is enough binder to fill the space between the particles - which is the question the critical value answers.
