BS EN 2435-001 is a standard that covers corrosion resistant primer in aerospace applications, enabling the reduction of cure and recoat times in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2435-001 specifies the minimum requirements for a two-component, chromated epoxy or polyurethane, corrosion resistant primer which can be used with or without a finish for aerospace applications.
The properties specified BS EN 2435-001 are obtained on defined aluminium alloy test pieces prepared in accordance with EN 3837, procedure A and ISO 3270.
The ability of the material to be used for a specific application (e.g. alternative substrate, specific drying conditions, etc.) shall be determined by supplementary tests to confirm that the requirements of BS EN 2435-001 standard are met.
BS EN 2435-001 on corrosion resistant primer in aerospace applications applies to:
A primer is a base coat that is applied to a surface to help treat it before adding a topcoat. As a result, the primer is designed to provide maximum adherence. Cold Cure is a primer accelerator that speeds up the cure and recoat process. Primers aid in the adherence of subsequent coatings and are required for corrosion resistance.
BS EN 2435-001 provides users guidance on required characteristics, including delivery, qualifications, batch acceptance, sampling, and test methods, ensuring the quality of primers for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2435-001 provides users guidance on test methods for primers including, testing on individual paint components, liquid paint, wet film, dry film, resistance to fluids and corrosion tests, enabling users to assess the quality and performance of primers.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2435-001, users can assess primers for corrosion resistance in components to ensure longer operating life and prevent the decay of components in aerospace applications.
