n That amount of binder needed to completely wet a pigment by displacing the air voids. This is determined primarily by: the particle size, shape, chemical composition, and density of the pigment; and the particle size, degree of polymerization and wetting properties of the binder. (Whereas the binder demand refers to a particular pigment-vehicle system, oil absorption is a numerical value assigned to a pigment based on a specific test method.)
