EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 13523-7 standard. This part of EN 13523 specifies the procedure for determining the crack resistance of an organic coating on a metallic substrate when bent 135° to 180°.
The degree of adhesion can also be evaluated. Both folding and mandrel methods are considered. The folding method is more often used for practical purposes, but where more precise specifications are required, the mandrel method is recommended.
The cylindrical bending method can also be used for a pass/fail decision using an agreed mandrel.
The selection of the appropriate test method is limited by the thickness or hardness of the substrate. The feasibility of the test depends on the type and thickness of the substrate. The mandrel should not be deformed during operation.
