Following the manufacturers recommendations, the coating shall be easily applied by brush, rol

19、ler, or spray. The coating shall show no streaking, running, sagging, or other defects during applica-tion or while drying.6. Weathering Requirements6.1 WEATHERING RESISTANCE: Two weathering test procedures are specifi ed below. Test data may not be avail-able for the desired color and gloss specifi

20、 ed. Performance levels are established using whites and light colors. It is left to the discretion of the specifi er whether to accept Florida data from a similar color or to use UV-A data in lieu of Florida weathering data.6.1.1 Accelerated Weathering: Accelerated weathering shall be performed in

21、accordance with ASTM D 4587, Cycle 2. Test panels shall have a primer/intermediate coat as recom-mended by the manufacturer.6.1.2 South Florida Weathering: South Florida weath-ering shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D 1014 (45 degrees south exposure, washed with mild detergent). Test panels

22、 shall have a primer/intermediate coat as recommended by the manufacturer.6.1.3 Application shall be according to manufacturers written recommendations. A minimum of three panels shall be exposed. Clear coatings must be tested over the intended basecoat. Initially, and at the end of each level perio

23、d, 60 degree gloss shall be measured according to ASTM D 523 and tristimulus color shall be measured according to ASTM D 2244. Table 3 summarizes the tests of Section 6 as well as the minimum acceptance criteria.6.2 Performance Levels: Tables 1 and 2 specify the amount of time the coating must perfo

24、rm before noticeable change in order to achieve the defi ned performance level. Polyurethane topcoats are available in a wide range of color and gloss. Procurement documents shall state the desired level of performance, exposure method (in accordance with Tables 1 and 2), color, and gloss. For examp

25、le, a specifi er may require Level 2 Florida exposure, initial gloss greater than 80, matched to a specifi c color. A certain level of accelerated weathering does not necessarily correspond to a particular level of atmospheric weathering and they need to be specifi ed independently. These are two in

33、 ed, Level 3 will be assumed.47. Material Quality Assurance7.1 Tests may be used to determine the acceptability of a lot or batch of a qualifi ed coating (see Note 10.3.)8. Labeling 8.1 Labeling shall conform to ANSI Z129.1.8.2 Technical data shall be provided for at least all data elements categori

34、zed as “essential” in SSPC-Guide 13. The specifi er may require additional data to satisfy quality assur-ance or local regulatory requirements.9. Disclaimer9.1 While every precaution is taken to ensure that all infor-mation furnished in SSPC standards and specifi cations is as accurate, complete, an

35、d useful as possible, SSPC cannot assume responsibility nor incur any obligation resulting from the use of any materials, coatings, or methods specifi ed herein, or of the specifi cation or standard itself.9.2 This specifi cation does not attempt to address problems concerning safety associated with

36、 its use. The user of this specifi cation, as well as the user of all products or practices described herein, is responsible for instituting appropriate health and safety practices and for insuring compliance with all governmental regulations.10. NotesNotes are not requirements of this specifi catio

37、n.10.1 VOC CONTENT: Each coating, after recommended thinning, must conform to published government regulations regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) content. VOC information should be supplied on the label or the technical data sheet. Various governmental agencies may have different VOC limits o

38、r use different methods of testing. The owner may modify this specifi cation as necessary to specify a particular VOC content limit consistent with local regulations. Coatings meeting the composition and performance requirements of this specifi cation usually have a VOC level less than 420 g/L (3.5

39、lb/gal).10.2 Test results for color and gloss of deeper colors can be expected to vary signifi cantly due to differences in pigment weathering properties. If a dark color is specifi ed, the user is cautioned to verify that color and gloss retention meet specifi -cation requirements for the desired l

40、evel of performance. The coating manufacturer should be contacted if the user desires a higher degree of color stability (less than 2.0 E* C.I.E.1976 L*A*B*) for a specifi c application. Choice of color (including metallics) outside the range of this specifi cation may require consideration of addit

41、ional procedures (such as clear coating) to meet the requirements of Section 6.2.10.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTS: The quality assur-ance tests are used to determine whether the supplied products are of the same type and quality as those originally tested. The selected tests should accurately and rapidl

42、y measure the physical and chemical characteristics of the coating necessary to verify that the supplied material is substantially the same as the previously accepted material. All of the quality assurance tests must be performed on the originally submitted qualifi cation sample. The results of thes

43、e tests are used to establish pass/fail criteria for quality assurance testing of supplied products.10.3.1 Establishing Quality Assurance Acceptance Criteria: Many ASTM test methods contain precision and bias statements. Specifi cation developers should be cognizant of the fact that these statements

44、 exist. Quality assurance test criteria should not be more stringent than the interlaboratory precision of the test methods used. Where precision and bias data are not available for a given test method, determine the standard deviation of a minimum of fi ve measurements taken on the originally teste

45、d and certifi ed material. The pass/fail criterion is that the measurement of the test sample shall fall within two standard deviations of the target value. The contracting parties must agree on a target value.10.3.2 Quality Assurance Testing Procedures: Quality assurance tests include but are not l

46、imited to: infrared analysis (ASTM D 2621), viscosity (ASTM D 562), weight per gallon (ASTM D 1475), total solids (ASTM D 2369), dry time (ASTM D 1640), percent pigment (ASTM D 2371), gloss (ASTM D 523), color (ASTM D 1535), and odor (ASTM D 1296), and AASHTO procedure TP 67.10.4 The procurement doc

47、uments should establish the responsibility for samples, testing, and any required affi davit certifying full compliance with the specifi cation.4Note: Maximum gloss reduction values shown in Table 1 (25%) and Table 2 (35%) are specifi c for these different test methods (see Section 6.1). The maximum

48、 allowable gloss reduction and color change values for Accelerated UV-A/Condensation and Florida Exposure were derived from experience provided by resin and coating manufacturers, end-users, and coating specifi cation engineers who have actively participated on the SSPC Polyurethane Coatings Committ
