Untersuchungen zur Anstrichalterung und deren Bedeutung für die Lebensdauer
Abstract
The durability of lifetime expectation of a coating for non-stable outdoor wooden constructions is an important criteria to judge about its applicability. A higher lifetime expectation leeds to an extension of renovation periods yielding a longer decorative and protective function of the coating. After 5 years of natural exposure the majority of modern water-borne and solvent-borne dispersions is still intact and in an overall sufficient shape. A significant shorter lifetime that was observed on two of six products under investigation can be linked with coating deficiencies. Therefore, prior to the application of a coating the main durability relevant properties, like film forming ability, pigment-volume-concentration (PVC), glastransition and adhesion should be determined.
