• 49.040 Coatings and related processes used in aerospace industry

This European Standard specifies the method of test for determining the resistance of paints and varnishes to the effects of heat or cold within the limits of - 50 °C to 200 °C. The test procedure assesses the resistance of paint coatings, varnishes or related products to changes of gloss, colour, blistering, cracking and/or detachment from the substrate as a result of exposure to elevated or sub ambient temperature. The procedure is applicable to products intended for use in aerospace applications.
