What is BS EN 13523-12- Test methods for resistance to scratching about?
Standard is the 12th part of BS EN 13523-12 that specifies test methods for resistance to scratching of coil coated metals.
BS EN 13523-12 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, rather than scratching, the needle will deform the substrate.
Who is BS EN 13523-12- Test methods for resistance to scratching for?
BS EN 13523-12 on test methods for resistance to scratching is useful for:
- Coil coated metal industries
- Metal coil product manufacturing companies
- Metal coil transport companies
Why should you use BS EN 13523-12- Test methods for resistance to scratching?
BS EN 13523-12 provides the test methods to assess the resistance of an organic coating on a metallic substrate to penetration by scratching with a needle.
BS EN 13523-12 helps to improve the quality of the coil coated metals with the suitable testing methods.
