TL 211 Automotive Testing: Paint Coatings
TL 211 is a German standard for paint and coating testing and is commonly used to ensure that the paint used on vehicles adheres to quality standards. TL 211 automotive testing covers all several different aspects of automotive paint testing, evaluating physical properties, and corrosion resistance.
Adhesion Testing: TL 211 analyzes a paint or coating’s ability to adhere to the surface of a vehicle by applying adhesive to the coating and removing it, monitoring the amount of paint removed.
Weathering and Corrosion Resistance Testing: This standard tests a paint or coating’s resistance to natural elements, such as rain, salt, and ultraviolet rays. The coating being tested is applied to a surface and then exposed to the various conditions that automotive vehicles would encounter in their standard operating environment. Our automotive testing experts monitor the test subject and document any damage or changes.
Impact Testing: This test method involves exposing the coating to impact from debris that a vehicle would typically encounter when operating in its standard environment. Small projectiles, such as stones, are fired at the painted surface, followed by a damage assessment.
Scratch Resistance Testing: Our automotive testing experts utilize various scratch tools at different levels of force to identify the subject’s ability to resist damage.
