Astm D522

The document reports on testing of ECRA-SH coated aluminium panels according to ASTM D522 Method B. Five coated samples were tested on different sized cylindrical mandrels to evaluate flexibility and cracking resistance. All five samples passed the test for each mandrel size without any cracking detected, demonstrating excellent flexibility and adhesion to the aluminium substrate.

Abstract  
Pole  Star  Coils  Pvt.  Ltd  has  provided  5  green  coated  samples  on  standard  aluminium  finstock  for  ASTM  
D522  testing.  This  report  contains  the  results  from  one  of  the  required  tests  outlined  in  the  
ASTMD522    “Standard  Test  Methods  for  Mandrel  Bend  Test  of  Attached  Organic  Coatings”.    This  is  a  
flexibility  test  used  to  evaluate  the  resistance  to  cracking  of  an  organic  coating  on  a  metal  substrate.  
The  testing  was  performed  using  five  different  size  cylindrical  mandrels  (1”,  3/4”,  5/8”,  1/2”  and  
3/8”).  
The  coating  tested  was  identified  as  ECRA-­‐SH    (LME)  
Coating  thickness  range  was  within  9  to  10  microns.

Test  rating  
Five  samples  submitted  had  passed  the  test  according  to  the  ASTM  D522.  
 
Conclusion  
Results  from  the  flexibility  testing  of  the  Pole  Star  Coils  Pvt.  Ltd  indicated  that  ALL  of  the  coated  
finstock  panels    
 
PASSED  the  requirements  for  the  flexibility  testing  (for  each  mandrel  size)  outlined.  
The  coated  panels  exhibited  excellent  flexibility  and  adhesion  to  the  tested  substrate.
