Evaluation for Powder Coating on Aluminum Alloy Building Materials

Part8. Outline of Experimental Evaluation Methods in Overseas

Abstract

Experimental results and investigation results into the actual condition in overseas buildings have been reported in order to promote application of powder coating onto aluminum alloy materials for buiding exterior finish. In this paper, outline of evaluation methods in AAMA and QUALICOAT which have been popularized in overseas are designated. Both standards are different in detail. The evluation methods that would be applied in Japan have to be discussed on a basis of these methods in future.
