This edition of the standard supersed

12、es BS4842:1972, which is withdrawn. Aluminium alloy windows are frequently located in relatively inaccessible locations and BS4842 was first published in1972 as the direct result of the need to ensure that coatings applied to aluminium components (and especially to aluminium windows) have a satisfac

13、tory service life with low maintenance requirements. The complete revision of the standard was undertaken to accommodate comments from industry, particularly with regard to some of the performance tests which were too prolonged, to accommodate acknowledged improvements in the properties of coating p

14、roducts and also to incorporate powder coating finishes which had been developed since the first edition. Technical considerations indicated that liquid coatings and finishes and powder coatings and finishes required different performance test procedures and therefore separate standards have been pr

15、epared for each. This edition of BS4842 deals with liquid organic coatings for and finishes on aluminium alloy components; BS6496 deals similarly with powder organic coatings for and finishes on aluminium alloy components. This standard relates to two different interfaces (between coating manufactur

16、er and coating applicator and between applicator and, for example, architect) and has therefore been divided into sections in such a way that compliance can be claimed with the appropriate section. In order to assist in identifying these two interfaces, the term “coating” has been used consistently

17、in section 2 to describe the liquid organic coating when applied to the test panels, and the term “finish” has been used in section 3 when referring to the liquid organic coating as applied by the applicator. Section 2 of this standard gives the requirements for the organic coatings to be applied to

18、 aluminium alloy components and the tests described therein are intended to be carried out by the coating manufacturer. Section 3 gives the requirements for the finish on extrusions, sheet and preformed sections of aluminium alloy and the tests described therein are intended to be carried out by the

19、 coating applicator. Some coatings containing metallic pigments and certain coatings with gloss levels below50units may not comply with all the requirements of section 2 of this standard. It is stressed that preparation and pre-treatment of the metal surface are very important in producing satisfact

20、ory finishes on aluminium. Therefore, to ensure optimum adhesion, a preliminary chemical conversion of the aluminium surface has been made a requirement of section 3 of this standard except when the organic coating is to be applied by anodic electrophoresis. Indeed, preparation and pre-treatment of

21、the surface are so important that the inclusion of a rapid, routine test to detect faulty processing was considered essential, even though none of the tests available could test the pre-treatment processes independently of other parameters. Thus a test to assess the quality of pre-treatment is speci

22、fied in10.9, although failure in this test does not necessarily imply that faulty pre-treatment is the only cause. This test has been specifically introduced as it is an accelerated procedure which reveals when the pre-treatment conditions are becoming unsatisfactory. This same test is also specifie

23、d in4.12 as a means of assessing the permeability of the coating.BS4842:1984 BSI 06-1999 iii It was considered essential to section 2 of this standard that there should be a performance test to assess the resistance to weathering of organic coatings. It was also desirable that this test should inclu

24、de the assessment of permissible loss in gloss. While there were merits in having an accelerated procedure see4.9 a) which allows a coating to be assessed within about12weeks, evidence was cited which showed that the loss of gloss after that period could be more severe than that observed under pract

25、ical conditions. Moreover the converse had also been observed. Thus the decline in gloss could not be considered an exact measure of potential performance and this prevented the property being used in the assessment of a coating. An alternative procedure see4.9 b) was proposed to overcome this probl

26、em, despite the disadvantage of a test period of1 year. However, while this test was more akin to practical conditions and generally more reliable, again the loss of gloss experienced could not be correlated with performance. It is for this reason that both tests in this specification include an eva

27、luation of coatings for their resistance to chalking to partially resolve the difficulty. Each of the weathering tests is believed to have value but also has disadvantages, and hence the Technical Committee responsible for preparing this standard concluded that both should be included. The artificia

28、l weathering test is for use routinely but in the event of a dispute, the product is required to satisfy the appropriate requirements after undergoing both that and the natural weathering test. It is important that the finish on architectural components should be compatible with sealing compounds us

29、ed in the building industry. In general, finishes which comply with section 3 of this standard will satisfy this requirement but, in cases of doubt, the user should satisfy himself that the particular sealant he intends to use is compatible with and adheres to the finish by referring the matter to t

30、he sealant supplier. It has been assumed in the drafting of this British Standard that the test methods will be applied by those who are appropriately qualified and experienced. Certification. Attention is drawn to the certification facilities offered by BSI described on the inside back cover of thi

31、s standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This documen

33、SI 06-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope Section2 of BS4842 specifies requirements for liquid organic coatings which are intended for application to aluminium alloy extrusions, sheet and preformed sections that are not to be further formed (except for cutting). Section3 of BS4842 specifies requiremen

34、ts for the finish on aluminium alloy extrusions, sheet and preformed sections when so coated. The methods of test for these coatings and finishes are described in section4. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purp

35、oses of this British Standard, the definitions given in BS2015 apply together with the following. 2.1 finish 1) the final or only coat in a painting process 2.2 conversion coating a modification to an aluminium surface by chemical treatment with chromate ions or chromate and phosphate ions without t

36、he use of an applied electric current 2.3 test piece a single item which is representative of the work being processed 2.4 test sample a group of test pieces 2.5 significant surface that part of the total surface of the finish on which a particular requirement for the specified finish is to be asses
