SSH EN 4476:2011

Aerospace series - Paints and varnishes - Cold curing intermediate coat

Scope

This European Standard specifies the requirements for a two component polyurethane, topcoat, with a medium degree of resistance to erosion by the effects of rain, available in a range of colours and levels of gloss, to be applied over a primer for aerospace applications on areas where rain erosion at subsonic speeds may be a problem, e.g. leading edges and air intakes.
The properties specified in this European Standard are obtained on defined aluminium alloy test pieces prepared in accordance with EN 3837 Procedure A and EN 23270 and painted with primer to EN 2435-001 and -002. The ability of the material to be used for a specific application (e.g. alternative substrate, alternative primer, specific drying conditions, etc.) should be determined by supplementary tests to confirm that the requirements of this European Standard are met.
