NF EN ISO 3678

<p>ISO 9117-6:2012 specifies a method for assessing, by means of a simple empirical test, the resistance of a coat of paint, varnish or related product to imprinting by a nylon gauze under a specified force applied for a specified time.</p> <p>The method may be carried out</p> <ul> <li>either as a "pass/fail" test by determining whether the print-free state has been reached after a specified period of drying or, in the case of stoving coatings, after stoving and ageing under specified conditions,</li> <li>or by repeating the print-free test at suitable intervals until the print-free time is obtained.</li> </ul>
