Impact Tests- Coating

Room Temperature Impact (1 inch steel ball dropped 50 inches onto coated sheet)

Result: No fracture, chipping or crazing of coating

Low Temperature Impact (After conditioning at -40°C,

± 1°C for not less than 4 hours, drop 1 inch steel ball, 50 inches onto front surface of sheet)

Result: No fracture, chipping or crazing of coating
