Table 3 List of method evaluation parameters and rating criteria
From: Evaluation of agar spray for the development of a green surfactant-free rigid emulsions
Rating of 1 | Rating of 2 | Rating of 3 | Rating of 4 | Rating of 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Independent evaluation parameters | |||||
Visibility (spray emulsion transparency was evaluated through empirically comparing the gels emulsion with five Word-generated shapes of increasing transparency, from 0–100%, with the inter- mediate values of 25%, 50%, and 75%. | Totally obstructed | Greatly reduced | Moderately reduced | Sightly reduced | Completely visible |
Process complexity (number of steps needed to test, pre- pare, apply, remove, and clear a varnish removal method) | Most steps (9 or more) | 7–8 | 5–6 | 3–4 | Fewest steps (1–2) |
Painting -dependent evaluation parameters | |||||
Time (to optimal varnish removal result) | Slowest (>6 min) | 5–6 min | 3–4 min | 1–2 min | Fastest (<1 min) |
Homogeneity of Varnish Removal | Uneven (<20%) | Inconsistent (<40%) | Moderate (<60%) | Consistent (<80%) | Complete (100%) |
Varnish removal efficacy | No effect | Little effect | Moderate effect | Effective removal | |
Mechanical action (degree applied to optimal treatment result) | Significant action to solubilise varnish | Moderate action to remove var- nish + minor action to clear cleaning system | Moderate action to remove already solubilised varnish | Minor action to clear cleaning system | None |
Pigment pickup (evaluated examining Spray agar emulsion emulsions and swabs for traces of pigment) | Unacceptable | Notable | Moderate | Microscopic | None |
