How to test the low temperature film formation of architectural coatings?

The purpose of testing the low-temperature film-forming property of architectural coatings is to evaluate the film-forming ability and film-forming speed of coatings in low-temperature environments, so as to determine their applicable temperature range and film-forming quality. If the low-temperature film-forming properties of the coating are poor, problems such as incomplete film-forming, cracking, and peeling will easily occur in low-temperature environments, which will affect the aesthetics and protective properties of the coating surface. Therefore, the purpose of testing the low-temperature film-forming properties of architectural coatings is to ensure that the coatings have good film-forming performance and service life in low-temperature environments, so as to ensure the construction quality and service life of buildings.

Detection method

The low-temperature film-forming property of architectural coatings is an index to evaluate its film-forming ability and film-forming speed in a low-temperature environment. The following are the detection methods and steps for the low-temperature film-forming properties of architectural coatings:

  1. Sample preparation: evenly coat the coating on the sample plate to ensure uniform thickness of the coating, and cut into suitable size samples after drying.

  2. Low-temperature measurement : Put the sample into the minimum film-forming temperature Tester, keep it for a period of time, and observe the film-forming condition on the coating surface.

  3. Observation and detection : Take out the sample and observe whether there are problems such as incomplete film formation, cracking, and peeling on the surface of the coating.

  4. Data processing : By observing the data obtained from the test, evaluate the low-temperature film-forming properties of the coating, and usually determine the rating of the coating according to relevant standards to determine whether the coating meets the application requirements.

NBCHAO reminds you: Different types of coatings have different tolerance to low temperature. Therefore, in actual testing, different testing methods and standards should be adopted according to different types of coatings and application scenarios to evaluate the film-forming performance and service life of coatings in low-temperature environments.

In short, the detection of low-temperature film-forming properties of architectural coatings is an indispensable work in architectural engineering. Through reasonable detection methods and procedures, the film-forming ability and film-forming speed of coatings in low-temperature environments can be evaluated, and suitable coating types and brands can be selected to ensure the construction quality and service life of buildings.
