Film thickness

For all requirements associated with a coating, there is an optimal layer thickness to ensure good flow and leveling, gloss, optimal color uniformity and opacity as well as good protection against environmental influences and corrosion. If the layer thickness is too high, mechanical-technological properties such as mandrel bending tests, stone impact tests and ball impact tests deteriorate, and the cost-effectiveness of the painting process also decreases. For this reason, layer thicknesses are worked out and specified by the paint supplier and quality assurance. These must be regularly checked and documented.
