ASTM D5894 - Blistering and Rusting Evaluation

5000 Hours of Exposure in Ultraviolet and Salt-Spray Chambers

Three coupons coated with Rust Grip plus Enamo Grip coating were tested according to ASTM D5894 for 5000 hours of exposure. The average dry film thickness of the coating on the coupon was 14 mils.

The coating system shows no signs of blistering after 5000 hours of exposure. Some blistering is noted on the edges of the two coupons; however this is deit to the edge effect and not due to the deficiency in the coating. The UV radiation causes discoloration of the coating but does not affect its corrosion resistance characteristics.

The coating system does not show any sign of rusting after 5000 hours of testing. Therefore, it is concluded that the coating has excellent corrosion resistance characteristics with a rating of 10 as per ASTM D610.
