A series of critical tests are carried out as per standards to confirm the coat quality.
Chemical Resistance Test
Bars are immersed in solutions per BIS 13620:1993 norms to test chemical resistance.
Adhesion of Coating
Bars are bent to 120o around a mandrel in 60 seconds to test the adhesion of the coating. This is done as per BIS 13620: 1993 norms.
Abrasion Test
The resistance of the coating on coated panels to abrasion is tested by a Taber Abraser as per the procedure mentioned in BIS 13620:1993.
Salt Spray Resistance
Exposure to salt sprays is done as per ASTM-775 recommendations to test resistance to wet and corrosive environments.
Resistance to an Applied Voltage
The effect of electrical and electrochemical stresses on the bond and integrity of the coating is assessed as per BIS 13620:1993.
Impact Test
Mechanical damage resistance is tested with the falling weight test as per BIS 13620: 1993.
