Test methods

• How do you test the performance of your product mentioned in the datasheet?

  The performance is tested by the following procedures:

  Dimensional stability:

  Is measured on a 150 x 150 mm aluminum panel to which a specimen has been applied; 72 hours after application the panel is exposed for 48 hours to + 70°C, after which the shrinkage is measured

  Flammability:

  A specimen applied to aluminum is subjected to the flame of a gas burner for 15 seconds. The film should stop burning within 20 seconds after removal from the flame.

  Adhesion:

  (FTM-1, FINAT) is measured by peeling a specimen at a 180° angle from a stainless steel panel, 24 hours after the specimen has been applied under standardized conditions. Initial adhesion is measured 20 minutes after application of the specimen.

  Temperature range:

  A specimen applied to stainless steel is exposed at high and low temperatures and brought back to room temperature. 1 hour after exposure the specimen is examined for any deterioration.
