Online Seminar

Solar radiation, heat and moisture are acting synergistically on car paints and parts, inducing microscopic ageing processes. Over time, these effects accumulate into macroscopic changes, and ultimately product failure. Several national and international standards and OEM test methods are available for determining the environmental durability of automotive exterior materials. One of the newer standards is ASTM D7869 on transportation coatings. Understanding content and application of these standards and test methods is critical to avoid costly failures.

In this Online Seminar you learn about: 

• Test methods and standards 
• Deficiencies with historical testing methodology 
• Development of ASTM D7869 
• Right Light filter system 
• Test results using the “new protocol”
