BS EN 13523-29:2017

What is BS EN 13523-29 - Metal’s resistance to environmental soiling?   

Coil coating makes metal more durable and more corrosion-resistant than most other post painted metal. BS EN 13523-29 is the 29th part of the BS EN 13523 series that contains test methods on coil coated metals. 

BS EN 13523-29 specifies a procedure for the comparative evaluation of resistance to soiling of an organic coating on a metallic substrate (coil coating) in an outdoor exposure environment, particularly the soiling defect known as “Tiger stripes”.  

Who is BS EN 13523-29 - Metal’s resistance to environmental soiling for?  

BS EN 13523-29 on metal’s resistance to environmental soiling is useful for:  

• Coil coated metal industries  
• Metal coil product manufacturing companies  
• Metal coil transport companies   
• Quality management teams 

Why should you use BS EN 13523-29 - Metal’s resistance to environmental soiling?   

Metals are coated with polyesters, polyurethanes, plastisols, polyvinylidene fluorides (PVDF), epoxies, backing coats, primers, and laminate films. Many layers of coating are applied to each product. 

BS EN 13523-29 guides on: 

• Exposure rack design 
• Detail of grooves to be machined 
• Sample preparation 
• Dirt panel inspection 
• Comparing and ranking of test panels  

BS EN 13523-29 helps you assess metal’s resistance to environmental soiling so that end customers get a superior quality product.
