What is BS EN 13523‑17 Adhesion of strippable films about?
BS EN 13523 series covers coil coated metals. BS EN 13523‑17 is one of the parts of a series of documents that specifies two methods for determining the numerical evaluation of the adhesion of strippable films which have previously been applied to an organic coating on a metallic substrate.
Samples can be tested irrespective of whether the strippable film has been applied in the laboratory or on the production line.
NOTE: Method 1 is preferred for films with adhesive and method 2 for films without adhesive.
Who is BS EN 13523‑17- Adhesion of strippable films for?
BS EN 13523‑17 on coil coated metals is applicable to:
- Coil coating chemical industries.
- Sheet metal industry
- Furniture industry
- Steel and aluminium industries
- Automotive, mechanical Industries
Why should you use BS EN 13523‑17- Adhesion of strippable films?
Coil coating is the method of coating a metal coil in a continuous process prior to construction. The metal coil is fed into an uncoiler, a line-loading accumulator, treated and painted if needed, fed into a finish line exit accumulator, and then rewound on a recoiler.
BS EN 13523-17 provides methods to assess the numerical evaluation of the adhesion of strippable films which have previously been applied to an organic coating on metallic surfaces. These are used for design flexibility, corrosion resistance, and weathering resistance, which provides a high-quality organic coating on coil coated metals.
By offering adhesion of strippable coating test procedure guidelines, BS EN 13523-17 aids in the improvement of the durability and the efficiency of organic coating on coil coated metals.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 13523‑17:2019 supersedes BS EN 13523‑17:2011, which is withdrawn. BS EN 13523‑17:2019 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 13523‑17:2011.
These include:
- In 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 tolerances have been added to the area for leaving the film
- The text has been editorially revised, and the normative references have been updated
