| Résumé : |
Eight different laboratories have participated in a round robin test organised to validate the copper leach rate draft test methods ISO/DIS 15181-1,2 for antifouling paints. Four different paints have been tested, representing the most commercially significant antifouling coating technologies currently in use. No significant differences observed in the leach rate data could be attributed to the analytical methods used (FAA, GFAA, ICP) or due to paint application. inter-laboratory differences in copper leach rate were particularly obvious for non organotin paints. Organotin copolymer based paints showed a lower degree of variation. As a result, an organotin based paint has been chosen as the appropriate reference paint for the ISO test procedure. |
