Space product assurance - Measurement of the peel and pull-off strength of coatings and finishes using pressure-sensitive tapes EN 14099:2001

Publication date:   Jul 30, 2004

Scope

This European Standard details a test in which pressure-sensitive tapes are used to assess the suitability of, for example, coatings, paints, films and other thin materials, proposed for use on spacecraft and associated equipment.
The following materials and assemblies are covered by this test method:
- organic coating, e.g. varnishes, paints and plastic films;
- metallic finishes on, for example, printed circuit boards, second-surface mirrors, thermal radiators, plastic films;
- adhesive layers;
- composite thin films;
- small assemblies, e.g. solar cells having attached glass covers.
