Paints and varnishes. T-bend test. | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This International Standard describes a method of evaluating the flexibility and adhesion of an organic coating on a metallic substrate by observing the cracking or loss of adhesion when a coated test panel is bent. The method can be used to confirm whether paints, varnishes or related products meet a given test requirement in a pass/fail test, or to determine the minimum bending diameter at which cracking does not occur.
