What is Impact Test and How Should It be Done?

The Importance of an Impact Test

Besides environmental causes, materials may fail when subjected to sudden applied impact due to pressure, load or stress. Be it a dry film of paint, varnish or other related product coating – these materials may crack or even peel from a substrate when exposed to sudden falling weight and pressure.

Here is where impact testing comes in.

Impact test is a method to evaluate the resistance of a material. It is usually carried out to:

  1. Ensure compliance to specific test requirement
  2. Determine the maximum weight or pressure that can be applied before the coating cracks or peels from its substrate
