ASTM D1882-17

Standard Test Method for Effect of Cooling System Chemical Solutions on Organic Finishes for Automotive Vehicles

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method will distinguish between cooling system chemical solutions that do or do not have a tendency to change the surface appearance when applied to organic finishes used on vehicles. Such changes may be manifested by discoloration, loss of gloss, softening, swelling, or other similar phenomena.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method determines the effect of cooling system chemical solutions on organic finishes used on motor vehicles. Cooling system chemicals include: coolants or corrosion inhibitors, or both, cooling system cleaners or flushes, or both, and stop leak additives.  
Note 1: This test method is a modification of Method D1540.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 Concentrated or diluted cooling system chemical solutions are brought into contact with organic finishes typical of those
used on automobiles for 1 h at room temperature. The surface of the finish then is inspected visually for any of the surface changes
mentioned in Section 4.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This test method will distinguish between cooling system chemical solutions that do or do not have a tendency to change
the surface appearance when applied to organic finishes used on vehicles. Such changes may be manifested by discoloration, loss
of gloss, softening, swelling, or other similar phenomena.
5. Materials
5.1 Test Panels—Steel panels, approximately 100 by 150 mm (4 by 6 in.) shall be prepared in accordance with the Methods of
Preparation of Practice D609. The surface of the test panels shall be roughened to 0.25 to 0.50 μm (10 to 20 μin.) prior to applying
the organic finish. These panels shall be coated with an organic finish of the type used on vehicles such as clear coated and
non-clear coated thermoset urethane and acrylic urethane finishes. Other finishes and painted panels of varying age and dimensions
