EN ISO 6270-2 Paints and Varnishes - Determination of Resistance to Moisture - Part 2: Condensation Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 6270-2 testing. EN ISO 6270-2 specifies the general conditions and procedures to be followed when testing coated test specimens in constant condensate atmospheres or variable condensate atmospheres to ensure that the results of tests performed in different laboratories are the same.

EN ISO 6270-2 Paints and Varnishes - Determination of Resistance to Moisture - Part 2: Condensation Test

This standard aims to provide consistent conditions and procedures for conditioning pre-made test specimens that will be evaluated for defects that may occur when exposed to humid ambient atmospheres such as continuous condensate atmospheres or variable condensate atmospheres.

The tests are designed to clarify the behavior of test specimens in humid atmospheres and to detect defects in the corrosion protection of test specimens. Testing coatings in these atmospheres may not yield life expectancy data.

A coated test sample is exposed to condensation in the climatic chamber and the effects of exposure are evaluated according to criteria previously agreed between the parties concerned; these criteria are often subjective.

The warm-up time will depend on the nature and quantity of the test samples, as well as the ratio of the water surface in the floor trough to the surface of the walls of the climatic chamber and the water temperature. The water temperature should preferably not exceed 60°C to avoid excessive steam formation.
