MEASUREMENT OF AIRFIELD MARKING PAINT FLEXIBILITY

Abstract

A method for determining the elongation of free paint films is discussed. The method is more precise than the ASTM and Federal Test Standard methods which use the mandrel test, and it provides a more clear-cut differentiation between different coating films. A statistical analysis was performed on 10 experimental airfield marking paints using data from the free- film percent-elongation tests and from performance tests of the same coatings exposed in the field. The results indicate that there is a definite correlation between the percent elongation (flexibility) and the field performance of airfield marking paints. (Author)
