EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN ISO 11126-7 testing. Covers requirements for blast cleaning of abrasives from molten aluminum oxide (corundum). Specifies particle size ranges and values for apparent density, bulk density, Mohs hardness, moisture content, conductivity of the aqueous extract, and water-soluble chlorides.
Molten aluminum oxide abrasives do not absorb water but can only be wetted on the surface. Molten aluminum oxide used as an abrasive must not contain free silica. All silica will be chemically bonded or present in glass form within the corundum crystal matrix. The material shall be free of corrosive and adhesion-impairing contaminants.
The standard outlines requirements for fused aluminum oxide abrasives, including aspects such as chemical composition, particle size distribution, bulk density, and other physical properties.
EN ISO 11126-7 establishes criteria for the quality and consistency of fused aluminum oxide abrasives to ensure that they are suitable for their intended purpose, which is to prepare steel surfaces for painting or coating.
The standard is particularly applicable to industries where surface preparation is critical to ensure the adhesion and durability of protective coatings. This is required in a variety of applications, such as corrosion protection in marine, industrial and architectural environments.
EN ISO 11126-7 is part of a wider series of standards (ISO 11126) covering a variety of non-metallic abrasive materials used in blast cleaning processes. Other parts of this series focus on different types of abrasives.
EN ISO 11126-7 is important for industries and professionals involved in surface preparation and coating applications. It helps ensure that the abrasive materials used in these processes are of the appropriate quality and consistency to achieve the desired results, including effective paint adhesion, protection against corrosion and longevity of coated surfaces.
