What is BS EN 4473 - Technical specification for aluminium pigmented coatings about?
BS EN 4473 is a European Standard that defines the qualification test conditions for aluminium pigmented coatings applicable to fasteners in titanium, titanium alloys, nickel base alloys and corrosion resisting steels.
Temperature class: 315 °C
BS EN 4473 includes coating with chromate and a cetyl alcohol lubricant, coating without chromate and a cetyl alcohol lubricant, coating with chromate, no additional lubricant and Coating without chromate, no additional lubricant.
Note: The aluminium pigmented coatings do not apply to fasteners in non-corrosion resistant steels.
Who is BS EN 4473 - Technical specification for aluminium pigmented coatings for?
BS EN 4473 on the technical specification for aluminium pigmented coatings is relevant to:
- Quality control personnel
- Fastener manufacturers
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS EN 4473 - Technical specification for aluminium pigmented coatings?
Aluminium pigments consist of fine aluminium flakes, surface treated in such a way, that they flow to the substrate’s surface during the application of the paint and align themselves.
BS EN 4473 provides you with the technical specification for aluminium pigmented coatings regarding the product, its composition and application. As a manufacturer, you can use these guidelines for doing aluminium pigmented coatings for use in fasteners.
BS EN 4473 also assists you in the qualification of your aluminium pigmented coatings to ensure that your coatings are highly durable and of high quality.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 4473, you can demonstrate the reliability of aluminium pigmented coatings and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
