Standard Rot & Water Finish
Finish: Rot Resistant BS 2087 : 1992, 4.5.3 (a- light process 1%- 1.7% PCPL)
Water Resistant BS 3408:1992, 3.3.7 - (Appendix B, B.3.2) - Before Soaking Test (Appendix B, B.3.3) - After Soaking Test
Behaviour at High temperature
(BS3424: Part 11: 1982 )
Requirement: no tendency to stick together when placed under a weight of 1.5kg for 15minutes at 60ºC. Typical performance of JTI finishes when tested to this requirement (face to face, face to back, back to back) Immediate Separation with no propensity for adhesion or surface damage.
Behaviour at Low Temperature
(BS3408:1992 Appendix A) Requirement: no cracking when flexed after 24 hours at – 20ºC Typical performance of JTI finishes when tested to this requirement. :- No sign of Cracking
Colour fastness to light
(BS1006:1985 :B02) Requirement:- minimum rating of 6 Typical performance of JTI finishes are a lightfastness rating of 6 or higher. Lightfastness (fading) tests are carried out on a regular basis. It should be noted that colours having the greatest tendency to fade (lower lightfastness rating) are traditionally those of red /orange spectrum.
High and low temperature performance and colour fastness to light (lightfastness) are not routinely tested by J.T.Inglis, as the tests require time to perform and are not compatible with normal quality control procedures. Where contractural conditions specify certification to these three properties, this should be stated at time of placing the order with time allowed for conducting the tests, three days in the case of high and low temperature, three weeks in the case of colourfastness .
