Methods of test for paints, varnishes and related materials Part G6 : Determination of resistance to humidity – Condensation (single-sided exposure)

OVERVIEW

Specifies a method for determining the resistance of paint films, paint systems and related products to conditions of condensation in accordance with the requirements of coating or product specifications. Is applicable to coatings, both on porous substrates such as wood, plaster and plasterboard and on non-porous substrates such as metal. Provides an indication of the performance likely to be obtained under severe conditions of exposure where continuous condensation occurs on the surface.

The procedure can reveal failures of the coating (including blistering, staining, softening, wrinkling and embrittlement) and deterioration of the substrate.

Does not cover the shape and preparation of the test specimens, the duration of the test and the assessment of the test results."
