ISO 1519 Paints and Varnishes - Bend Test (Cylindrical Mandrel)

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 1519 standard. This international standard specifies an experimental test procedure for evaluating the resistance of a coating of paint, varnish or related product to cracking or separation from a metal or plastic substrate when subjected to bending around a cylindrical mandrel under standard conditions.

For a multi-level system, each floor can be tested individually or the entire system can be tested. The specified method can be performed, either as a "pass/fail" test, by performing the test with a single specified mandrel size to assess conformity to a particular requirement; or by repeating the procedure using successive smaller mandrels to determine the diameter of the first mandrel where the coating cracks or separates from the substrate.

Two types of apparatus are specified, type 0,3 suitable for use on test panels up to 1 mm thick, and type 1,0. suitable for use on test panels up to 2 mm thick. Both types of apparatus have been found to give similar results with the same coating, but normally a certain Only one will be used to test the product.
