PSA D47 1165 Products for Body in White or Painted Bodies, Plastics - Accelerated Ageing, N/R/W/X Procedures Only (Climate-Controlled Units)

The standard "PSA D47 1165 Products for white body or painted body, plastics - Accelerated ageing, N/R/W/X procedures only (climate-controlled units)" developed by the automobile company Peugeot describes the ageing procedures for products with white body or painted plastic bodies. This standard covers only the N, R, W and X procedures involving accelerated ageing and these procedures are suitable for climate-controlled units.

The terms paint and coating refer to different materials. Protective coatings are applied by painters, but they are very different from house paints, and it is important to understand how they work in order to apply them correctly. Paint is formulated for decorative purposes, especially on vehicles. Coatings refer to materials designed for industrial use that protect assets from the environment and provide corrosion control. Protective coatings have good adhesion and excellent water and water vapor resistance. They offer good resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical attack. The basic properties of a paint are determined by the choice of resins, pigments, solvents, and additives used. For example, the base coat must have good adhesion to the substrate and must be compatible with the selected midcoat or topcoat. It may also require corrosion resistance or protection for the substrate.

Automotive paint is a paint used on automobiles for both protective and decorative purposes. Water-based acrylic polyurethane enamel paint is currently the most widely used type of paint for reasons such as reducing the environmental impact of paint. Modern automotive paint is applied in several layers with a total thickness of approximately 100 μm (0,1 mm). Paint application requires preparation and primer steps to ensure proper application. After the primer is applied, a base coat is applied. This can be followed by a clear coat that creates a glossy, transparent coating. The clear coat must be able to withstand UV light.

Accelerated aging testing is a procedure that simulates real-time aging by using high temperatures to artificially accelerate the aging process.
