Paints and varnishes - Coating materials and coating systems for exterior wood - Determination of tensile properties of coating films

This standard is directed at the investigation of the mechanical and tensile properties of free
coating films. It is similar to ISO 5273 and ISO 37 for the testing of plastic and rubber materials
but with particular focus on test sample preparation from free coating films. Typical parameters
for the mechanical behaviour are the modulus of elasticity, the tensile strength and the
elongation at break/elongation at rupture during stretching of a free coating film with constant
speed.

Introduction

Wood as a natural construction material may be protected against rain, sunlight and microorganisms

attack by a coating film to keep its appearance and mechanical integrity if used outdoors. Humidity will

cause swelling of wood, as drying will cause shrinking. These movements are different in the three main

directions of wood (longitudinal < radial < tangential) that leads to different stresses in the surface

coating. The coating however should stay intact over time to protect the wood substrate. A coating

material that is too rigid and brittle will crack and fail. Water can penetrate the wood through defects

followed by microorganisms that may cause disfigurement or even degradation.

1 Scope

This document describes a method to determine the tensile properties of free coating films for wood in

exterior application. Typical parameters for the mechanical behaviour are the modulus of elasticity, the

tensile strength and the elongation at break during stretching of a free coating film at constant test speed.

The test methods described in this document are applicable to coatings from which free films can be

made.

4 Principle

Tensile test specimens are prepared from free coating films and subjected to a tensile test under defined

conditions until they fail. During this procedure, the load sustained by the sample and the elongation

behaviour are recorded.

This document is similar to EN ISO 527-3 and ISO 37 for the testing of plastic and rubber materials but

focusses on the sample preparation and specific testing of free films of wood coatings.

5 Apparatus and materials
5.1 Film application device

Coating films can be prepared by casting the liquid coating material in moulds or by applying it to a

suitable non-adhering substrate by manual procedure or using an automatic film applicator, see 5.3.

NOTE Automatic application devices are preferred as they move at constant speed and deliver a more uniform

final coating film.
5.2 Test apparatus

The tensile test machine shall comply with the requirements of EN ISO 527-1:2019, 5.1, where applicable.

It should be equipped with selectable speed control (typical range: 10 mm/min to 200 mm/min), load

and strain indicator and temperature control unit. The strain indicator can either use crosshead travel

measurement or extensometer measurement. If an extensometer is used, an optical measurement device

is preferred as it does not touch and influence the specimen.
5.3 Coating thickness gauge

For film thickness measurement, all devices using mechanical scanning according to ISO 4593 or

equivalent methods are applicable.
6 Test specimens
6.1 Sampling of coating products

Take a representative sample of the liquid coating material to be tested as specified in EN ISO 15528.

Deaerating of the coating material should be considered (e.g. in a centrifuge or in a high speed vacuum

mixer).
6.2 Preparation of test specimens

Prepare the test specimens by casting the liquid coating material into shallow (e.g. silicone rubber-based)

moulds (in case of low viscosity coating materials) or by drawing the (more viscous) coating material as

a wet film on a flat support (e.g. on a PTFE coated metal plate, POM or some inert foil, e.g. based on

untreated PP or PE) with a broad film applicator. The substrate shall be well levelled horizontally before

applying the coating material.

The substrate shall allow the dry film to be removed easily without the need for additional wetting or

pre-stressing it. For cast films, apply the proper amount of (wet) coating material to produce the

requested dry film thickness.

In the case of inert foils as substrate it is recommended to attach them to the levelled flat support

(typically a glass plate) by wetting the backside with oil or water, avoiding entrapped air bubbles. The

wet coating film should preferably be applied on the foil with an automatic film applicator at an

appropriate speed.

The coating films to gain the final test specimens shall be prepared at controlled conditions in a standard

atmosphere [(23 ± 2) °C, (50 ± 10) % relative humidity or (20 ± 2) °C, (65 ± 10) % relative humidity]. The

cured coating films shall be free from cracks, bubbles or other defects.

Pre-treatment e.g. by heat, or immersion in water to ease the removal of coating films from the substrate

shall not be used as it may strongly influence the mechanical film properties. Pre-treatments potentially

cause thermal change of film morphology or leaching of water-soluble ingredients in an uncontrolled

way.
