What is BS EN 2436-002 - High corrosion resistance primers about?
BS EN 2436-002 is a standard that covers high corrosion resistance primers, enabling the reduction of cure and recoat times in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2436-002 specifies the requirements for a two component, cold curing, chromate-free epoxy or polyurethane, high corrosion resistant primer which can be used with or without a finish for aerospace applications.
The properties specified in BS EN 2436-002 are obtained on defined aluminium alloy test pieces prepared in accordance with EN 3837 and ISO 3270.
The ability of the material to be used for a specific application (e.g. alternative substrate, alternative primer, specific drying conditions etc.) shall be determined by supplementary tests to confirm that the requirements of BS EN 2436-002 are met.
Who is BS EN 2436-002 - High corrosion resistance primers for?
BS EN 2436-002 on high corrosion resistance primers applies to:
- Manufacturers of products and equipment in aerospace industry
- Quality assurance services
- Suppliers of paints and varnishes in aerospace applications
- Coating and painting services in aerospace industry
- Aerospace and aeronautical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2436-002 - High corrosion resistance primers?
A primer is a base coat that is applied to a surface to help treat it before adding a topcoat. As a result, the primer is designed to provide maximum adherence. Cold Cure is a primer accelerator that speeds up the cure and recoat process. Primers aid in the adherence of subsequent coatings and are required for corrosion resistance.
BS EN 2436-002 provides users guidance on batch release and qualification testing of primers to ensure quality and performance in coating applications.
BS EN 2436-002 provides users references on physical and chemical characteristics of primers including, condition, finish, sedimentation rating, pot life, viscosity, fineness of grind, non-volatile matter, flash point and more, to ensure the quality, applicability and durability of primer coatings.
BS EN 2436-002 provides users references on environmental characteristics, including, heat, cold, resistance to fluids, water behaviour, and more, to ensure the strength in adherence for effective coating of components.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2436-002, users can assess and apply primers on components for high corrosion resistance to ensure a longer operating life and prevent the decay of components in aerospace applications.
