Paints and varnishes - Coating materials and coating systems for exterior wood - Part 9: Determination of pull-off strength after water exposure

This Technical Specification specifies a method for assessing the resistance of a coating system on wet wood to separation from the substrate by measuring the force necessary to detach or rupture the coating system by a normal tensile strain applied through an attached stud (dolly). Additional information is gained by noting the type and locus of failure. The force required for detachment will depend on several factors including the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and between intermediate coating layers. The procedure is not regarded as a direct means of measuring adhesion but an indicator of adhesive performance (adherence) under wet conditions.
A procedure for wetting the wood substrate is described. The test method is only suitable for wood and wood based substrates.
For dry adhesion the test method is allowed to be carried out without wetting in which case it will differ very little from ISO 4624.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Beschichtungsstoffe und Beschichtungssysteme für Holz im Außenbereich - Teil 9: Bestimmung der Abreißfestigkeit nach Wasserbeanspruchung

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt ein Verfahren zur Beurteilung der Beständigkeit eines Beschichtungs-systems auf nassem Holz gegen seine Entfernung vom Substrat fest; dies geschieht durch Messen der Kraft, die zum Lösen oder Brechen des Beschichtungssystems mithilfe einer normalen Zugbelastung erforderlich ist, die über einen verbundenen Bolzen (Stempel) angewandt wird. Weitere Informationen ergeben sich durch Notieren von Fehlerart und -ort. Die zum Lösen erforderliche Kraft hängt von mehreren Faktoren ab, einschließlich der Haftfestigkeit der Beschichtung auf dem Substrat und innerhalb von Zwischenbe-schichtungen. Das Verfahren wird nicht als direktes Mittel zur Messung der Haftfestigkeit betrachtet, sondern als Indikator für die Klebeleistung (Haftfähigkeit) bei Nässe.
Ein Verfahren zur Benetzung des Holzsubstrates wird beschrieben. Das Prüfverfahren eignet sich nur für Holz und auf Holz basierende Substrate.
Für Trockenhaftfestigkeit darf das Prüfverfahren ohne Benetzung durchgeführt werden; in diesem Fall weicht es nur geringfügig von EN ISO 4624 ab.

Peintures et vernis - Produits de peinture et systèmes de peinture pour le bois extérieur - Partie 9: Détermination de la résistance à l’arrachement après exposition à l’eau

La présente Spécification technique spécifie une méthode d'évaluation de la résistance d'un système de peinture sur bois humide à la séparation du subjectile en mesurant la force nécessaire pour détacher ou rompre le système de peinture par une contrainte de traction normale appliquée au moyen d'un goujon (plot). Des informations supplémentaires sont obtenues en notant le type et l'emplacement de la rupture. La force requise pour le décollement dépendra de plusieurs facteurs, notamment de l'adhérence du revêtement au subjectile et entre les couches intermédiaires du revêtement. Le mode opératoire n'est pas considéré comme un moyen direct de mesure de l'adhésion, mais comme un indicateur de la performance adhésive (adhérence) dans des conditions humides.
Une méthode de mouillage du subjectile en bois est décrite. La méthode d'essai convient uniquement aux subjectiles en bois et en matériaux dérivés du bois.
Pour l'adhérence en condition sèche, il est permis d'utiliser la méthode d'essai sans mouillage, auquel cas elle diffèrera très peu de l'EN ISO 4624.

Barve in laki - Premazi in premazni sistemi za zaščito lesa za zunanjo uporabo - 9. del: Ugotavljanje razslojne trdnosti po izpostavitvi vodi

Ta tehnična specifikacija določa metodo za ocenjevanje odpornosti premaznih sistemov na mokrem lesu proti ločevanju od podlage z merjenjem sile, ki je potrebna, da se premazni sistem odtrga ali pretrga z uporabo normalnega natega prek pritrjenega podpornika. Dodatne informacije se lahko pridobijo z zapisom vrste in lokacije okvare. Sila, potrebna za odtrganje, bo odvisna od različnih dejavnikov, vključno s sprijemnostjo premaza s podlago in med vmesnimi plastmi premaza. Postopek ni mišljen kot neposredno sredstvo za merjenje sprijemnosti, temveč kot kazalnik sprijemne učinkovitosti (sprijetosti) v mokrih pogojih.
Opisan je postopek za močenje lesnega substrata. Preskusna metoda je primerna samo za lesne substrate in substrate na osnovi lesa.
Preskusno metodo je za suho sprijemnost dovoljeno izvesti brez močenja, pri čemer se nekoliko razlikuje od standarda ISO 4624.

CEN/TS 927-9:2018 (E)
Introduction
This Technical Specification is one of two methods for assessing the resistance of the coating system to
removal by external forces provided by either cross-cutting or direct pull-off, both methods carried out
under wet conditions. Two existing ISO Standards (EN ISO 2409 and EN ISO 4624) specify similar test
methods for dry substrates in general, but make no provision for wet conditions, where wood coatings
are known to be particularly vulnerable. Both of the new methods take full account of the special nature
of wood as a substrate in terms of the method of wetting and the selection of the substrate.
Most of the currently used exterior coating systems are characterised by their propensity to being
penetrated by moisture both into and out of the wood. It might therefore be difficult to achieve a good
adhesion of these coatings under high moisture conditions. In cases of an already damaged coating film
or an increased presence of moisture in the boundary zone to the wood surface, even a short-term
exposure to water can be sufficient to weaken the adhesion of a coating film either to the substrate or
within the coating system. The described method is suitable for the testing of coatings for exterior wood
or wood based materials and applicable for testing the wet adhesion of a single coat or multi-coat
system. In this test procedure the force, which is necessary to detach or pull-off the coating
perpendicular to the substrate is measured.
Furthermore, the nature of fracture of the coating is assessed to validate or reject and assist in the
interpretation of the result.

4 Principle
The product or system under test is applied at uniform thickness to flat wood based panels of uniform
surface texture.
After drying/curing the coating system, dollies are glued directly to the surface of the coated panels.
After curing of the adhesive, a circular groove is milled or cut around the dollies. Water is deposited in
the groove for a time interval that ensures a complete wetting of the wood–coating interface beneath
the dollies.
After the complete wetting of the wood-coating interphase the bonded dolly/substrate assemblies are
placed in a suitable tensile tester. The bonded assemblies are subjected to a controlled tensile test (pull-
off test) and the force required to break is measured.
