Test materials and methods
The DURANATETM test results shown in this brochure were determined by the following methods except where otherwise specifically indicated.
Coating process
| Materials | Polyol: Acrydic A801 (DIC Corporation) DuranateTM/polyol ratio: NCO/OH = 1.0. Viscosity: 15 sec. in Ford Cup No. 4, following dilution by urethane thinner. |
| Application | Air spray. Film applicatior. Dry film thickness : 40 micrometers. |
| Drying | Drying 23℃, 50% RH. / Blocked-polyisocyanate grades : reference to the condition in page12. |
Test methods
| Drying rate | Time from coating application to freedom from indentation by 100-g cylinder covered with 5-layer gauze and left on surface for 1 minute. |
| Cotton ball test |
Evaluate residual cotton on film after loading 100g of weight on 1g of cotton ball for 1 minute. |
| Gel fraction | Ratio of coated film weight after and before immersion in acetone for 24 hr at 23℃, following its removal from polypropylene substrate. |
| Hardness | ASTM D3363; hardness of pencil leaving no groove in coated film surface. |
| Adhesion | ASTM D3359; crosscut tape with 100 squares each 1×1 mm. |
| Flexibility | ASTM D1737. |
| Impact resistance | ASTM D2794. |
| Water resistance | Appearance of coated film after 24 hrs in deionized water at 23℃. |
| Gasoline resistance | Appearance of coated film after 24 hrs in regular gasoline at 23℃. |
| Chemical resistance | Appearance of coated film after 24 hrs in indicated chemical at 23℃. |
| Weatherability | ASTM G23 Method 1; Sunshine carbon arc, black panel, 63℃, 12-min water spray per 60-min cycle. |
| Stress-strain | 20-mm interchuck gap, 20 mm/min draw (100%/min strain). |
| NCO retention (%) | Evaluate FT-IR of formulated liquid. Calculate retention by comparing hight of NCO peak after the mixing. Comparison on hight of NCO peak = 2270 cm-1 (-NCO) hight of the peak / 2850cm-1 (-CH2-) hight of the peak. |
| Compatibility | Mix with polyol by NCO/OH=1.0 and evaluate appearance of film on the glass. |
