Summaries

This paper reports the use of structural and fractographic scanning electron microscopic analysis in the evaluation of the performance and durability, by natural and artificial exposure trials of low VOC solvent-borne and current water-borne coatings and also semi-transparent stains when compared with opaque white paints. Two species of wood, pine and spruce were used in these tests.

Résumé

Cet exposé offre un compte rendu de l’emploi de l’analyse structurelle et fractographique par microscopie électronique à balayage pour évaluer le rendement et la durabilité par les essais d’exposition aux intempéries et de vieillissement accéléré de revêtements aux solvants à faible teneur en solvants organiques volatils et aussi ceux hydrodiluable actuellement disponibles et d’ailleurs des teintures semi-transparentes en comparaison des opaques peintures blanches. Deux espèces de bois, du pin et d’épice ont été utilisées pour ces essais.

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Vortrag berichtet die Anwendung der strukturelle und fratographishe Rasterelektronenmikroskopischanalyse zur Bewertung der Leistung und Dauerhaftigkeit mittels Au en- und Kurzbewitterung der niedrig-VOC lösemittelhältige und gegenwärtige wässrigen Farbe und auch halbdurchlassige Beizen im Vergleich den opalen Weißfarben. Zwei Holzspezies, Kiefer und Fichte wurden fur diese Prüfungen gebraucht.
