Aerospace series - Paints and varnishes - Test method for measurement of resistance to cold crack temperature cycle; German and English version EN 4170:2007
This standard describes a procedure of ageing to assess the resistance of a coated panel (metallic or organic
substrate) to a temperature cycle (cold, hot, hot and wet) for aerospace purposes.
This test deals with the assessment of the capability of the paint to support modification of internal stresses
without any crack formation, peeling or other defects due to modification of the mechanical properties of the
paint system.
