EN 1062-6 Standard Test for Coatings and Coating Systems for Paints and Varnishes, Exterior Wall and Concrete

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1062-6 testing. This European standard specifies two methods for determining the carbon dioxide permeability of coatings, coating systems and related products intended for exterior masonry and concrete.

Methods, plaster, concrete, etc. It can be applied to coatings and coating systems on porous surfaces such as This is one of a series of sections of EN 1062 dealing with cladding materials and test methods for cladding systems for exterior masonry and concrete. It should be read in conjunction with EN 1062-1.

The coated side of a test piece is exposed to the measuring gas and the carbon dioxide emitted is quantified. The test piece seals a test cell containing an absorber for carbon dioxide so that the cell is gas-tight to the environment.

The test cell is kept in a dry atmosphere of carbon dioxide/air at (23 ± 2)°C and weighed at regular intervals. The carbon dioxide permeability is calculated from the mass gain. The determination is complete when a steady state is reached, that is, the mass increase does not change with time.
