📏 The Formula
The relationship between wet and dry film thickness is determined by the volume solids of the coating:
DFT = WFT × (Volume Solids / 100)

💡 Pro Tips
Ensure you are using Volume Solids and not Weight Solids. Weight solids include the weight of the pigments and resins but not the volume they occupy once the solvent evaporates.
🔄 Conversion
1 mil = 25.4 microns (µm). To convert mils to microns, multiply by 25.4. To convert microns to mils, divide by 25.4.
⚠️ Validation
Always verify calculations against the technical data sheet (TDS) provided by the coating manufacturer for specific product requirements.
