ENDURA-COAT^®

Test Method:
Paint is applied using a 3 mil drawdown to a standardized substrate and allowed to dry for 24 hours at room temperature. After 24 hours, two crosshatch patterns are made, one on the left for dry adhesion and one on the right for wet adhesion. A paper towel is then cut into 1”X1” square and allowed to soak into the film for 10 minutes and then removed and the test area is blotted dry to remove excess water. The film is allowed to dry for 30 minutes. A permacel tape is then cut into approximately 3” long pieces and placed in the center of the cross hatch and smoothed out. The tape is then removed by seizing the free end and pulling it off rapidly back upon itself at an angle as close to 180 degrees as possible. The process is repeated on the dry adhesion crosshatch. After the tape is removed the crosshatches are evaluated and rated.
