ABSTRACT

PET powder-painted GVL panels were also subjected to salt spray test (SST), as shown in Figure 6. The silane treated GVL panel presents a slight local paint delamination at one end of the scribe line on the surface after 1008 hours of SST exposure, whereas the blank panel (i.e., untreated) totally failed in the test, show­ ing a complete paint delamination and severe corrosion o f the substrate nearby the scribe line.
