DIN EN 13523-12

Coil coated metals - Test methods - Part 12: Resistance to scratching

active, Most Current
Organization: DIN
Publication Date: 1 May 2017
Status: active
Page Count: 10
ICS Code (Organic coatings): 25.220.60
scope:

This part of the EN 13523 series describes the procedure for determining the resistance of an organic coating on a metallic substrate to penetration by scratching with a needle.

It is possible that with some aluminium alloys and thin gauge steel substrate below 0,4 mm, that rather than scratching, the needle will deform the substrate. Under these conditions, this test method is not applicable.

Soft coatings such as poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and structured coatings will not give a precise result due to the soft nature of the coating and/or the potential for the needle to snag.

The method is not applicable to conductive coatings.
