Did you know that even a small change in climatic conditions can cause coating failure?
Climatic conditions play a critical role in the successful application of protective coatings.
Even minor variations in the conditions can impact the performance of the coating. Temperature affects its durability, thickness, and application ease.
To ensure consistent and high-quality finishes, we have put together a list of factors to monitor for Climatic Testing in the Protective Coatings Industry.
Here’s what you’ll need to monitor:
- Surface temperature (Ts): The temperature of the substrate.
- Air temperature (Ta): The ambient temperature surrounding the coating.
- Relative humidity (RH): The amount of moisture in the air.
- Dew point (Td): The temperature at which water vapour condenses.
- Delta T (TΔ): The difference between surface and dew point temperatures.
- Wet bulb temperature (Twb): Temperature measured by a wetted thermometer.
- Dry bulb temperature (Tdb): Standard air temperature measurement.
- Wind speed: The velocity of air movement.
- Surface moisture: The amount of water present on the substrate.
