What is ISO 8130-6 about?
ISO 8130 discusses coating powders. ISO 8130-6 is the sixth part of the ISO 8130 multi-series and discusses the determination of gel time of thermosetting coating powders.
ISO 8130-6 specifies a method for determining the time for a thermosetting coating powder to gel at a specified temperature.
Note: The method in ISO 8130-6 is not applicable to coating powders with ultra-short gel times (less than 15 s).
Who is ISO 8130-6 for?
ISO 8130-6 on coating powders is useful for:
- Paint manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 8130-6?
When it comes to selecting paint, quality does matter. Whether you're looking at the interior or exterior paint, and whether you're considering adhesion, durability, or hiding properties, a better-quality paint will give you better service – both short and long term.
ISO 8130-6 guides you in determining the time for a thermosetting coating powder to gel at a specified temperature. ISO 8130-6 helps you with the method for checking batch to batch variation and for the quality control of a given coating powder. ISO 8130-6 helps you to maintain the quality consistency of your coating powders.
What’s changed since the last update?
