Test Methods Coil Coates

This page is an introduction to the analysis methods of coil coates and their related EU standards. Coil sheets are coated by continuous coating lines in which layer of corrosion protection and paint are added to the substrate. Various tests concerning paints cover gloss, hardness, adhesion, corrosion, solvent resistance, resistance to humidity, different environmental conditions. For exact details and tolerances please refer to the EU standards available at the European Institutions for Standardisation.
