The chemical and solvent resistance of Superthane films has been tested on the following build-up applied to sandblasted iron bolts.
The individual coats were applied at 24 hour intervals. To eliminate as far as possible any influence on the chemical resistance of the system through solvent retention, testing was started only after 3 months of storage at room temperature.
The symbol “>” (=larger than) means that after the immersion time of the specimen listed behind the symbol there still has been no change or further change of the finish.
The result list in the column “incipient surface change” refers to the first changes in the surface of the film becoming visible, e.g. Isolated microscopically fine blisters, slight softening of film surface, etc.
