SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

SUBJECT: GLOBAL PAINT

1. Introduction

1.1 Objective

The objective is to provide a global paint document to be used by AGCO plant locations to facilitate the
control of paint durability and appearance.

Note: The design acceptance testing requirements shown in Section 2.2 of this document are
summarized in GD10000101S (Global Paint Specification and Test Procedure – Summary Document) for
reference.

Although there may be references to specific manufacturing processes, this document is not intended to
replace or substitute for plant specific or global manufacturing process specifications. Its intent is to
replace the material performance requirements within the following documents:

• CMS M 1000 – Beauvais, Canoas, Santa Rosa, AGCO Massey Ferguson Licensee Operations
• Sunflower Manufacturing Engineering Specification–Finishes and Coatings – Beloit (Lab Testing
Section of the document)
• 705 100 176 – Hesston (Section 7, “Test Specifications – Superior Performance Paint”, for each
current Material and Process Specification listed on 705 100 176)
• PR-74-001, Sections 4.1 through 4.3 and 4.6 through 4.12 – Jackson
• FWN 10 253 – Marktoberdorf
• VDB 019 – Mogi
• TLO 307 – Suolahti

This document’s approval date shall establish the effective date for all new and / or revised parts and
machines to meet the requirements contained herein. Prior parts and machines shall continue to utilize
previously existing methods and documentation in place at the time of their release. The machine’s
Product Committee must approve any deviation from this direction.

1.2 Scope

This practice applies to all AGCO owned / operated facilities (i.e. Beauvais, Canoas, Hesston, etc.), joint
venture operations, suppliers of AGCO branded whole goods and suppliers of painted components /
attachments (i.e. wheels, starters, loaders, etc.). It is a framework of minimum requirements to be
adopted or referenced by individual plant locations. The initial production painting, touch-up / rectification
(plant and dealer), bulk paint available through service parts and customer custom paint specification will
be addressed in this document.

Whether solvent, powder or water based paints are utilized, the cured film shall meet the requirements
set forth in this document.

Note: In the event that Clean Air Act compliance forces paint formulation changes on an AGCO
manufacturing location, it must not result in compromise of this Specification and Test Procedure.

1.4 Definitions

• Cheesecloth (cotton wool) – 100% cotton mesh white cloth.

• Dry Film Thickness (DFT) / Paint Film – A layer of either fully cured primer or combination of fully
cured primer (may have an intermediate primer-surfacer) and topcoat applied to a substrate by the
various painting processes / systems available.

• Electrostatic Process – a spray paint application technique to minimize paint waste whereby the
atomized paint stream passes through an electrical charge (typically 60,000 volts or higher) and is
deposited onto a part with an opposite charge. Care must be exercised to ensure electrical
grounding of the part and also to adjust spray gun operating parameters to cope with any Faraday
cage effects (repulsion of the charged paint cloud) in enclosed areas of complex shaped parts (e.g.
tractor chassis).

• Light Topcoat – A topcoat applied in a thickness that allows the primer or substrate to show through.

• Orange Peel – An irregularity in the surface of a paint film that appears as a characteristically uneven
or dimpled surface to the eye but usually feels smooth.

• Phoretic Painting Methods – Both methods involve immersion of a degreased component in a bath of
an emulsion of paint polymer dispersed in an aqueous medium.

Autophoretic: A film of paint is deposited on all wetted surfaces via an oxidation - reduction
reaction. Components are normally baked in a drying oven following paint deposition. This
method is generally only suitable for ferrous components.

GLOBAL ENGINEERING

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

Electrophoretic (also called electro-deposition, electro-coating and e-coating): Paint is


deposited on the component when a DC voltage is applied across the component. Deposition
happens due to a local change in pH on the immediate surface of the component thus causing
the paint polymer emulsion to destabilize and deposit polymer resin onto the surface of the
part. Of the two processes, anodic and cathodic, cathodic e-coats offer far superior corrosion
protection. E-coats, in general, lay down a uniform paint film all over a component surface,
especially edges, and are environmentally friendly.

• PH – Throughout this document, references will be made to acidity and alkalinity, in the context of the
operational environment of the AGCO product. In general terms, “acid” means a pH of 5.5 to 4.5;
neutral means a pH of 5.6 to 8; and “alkaline” means a pH of 8.1 to 9.5. Severe operational
environments would result at pH levels less than pH 4.5 or greater than 9.5 and any materials outside
these extremes should not come in contact with painted / plated surfaces.

• Primer – First layer of paint applied to a properly prepared / treated bare substrate. It must be
chemically and physically compatible with the topcoat.

• Primer-Surfacer – An intermediate protective coating applied over a primer (prior to topcoat) that is
vulnerable to degradation by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.

• Solubilizers – Any chemical agent that is deployed to render a polymer resin, normally only soluble in
an organic solvent, soluble in water. Most solubilizers produce a resin-in-water emulsion rather than
a true solution. Hence the term solubilizer is sometimes inter-changed with "emulsifier" or "dispersing
agent".

• Substrate – the surface being painted regardless of material. Substrates may be ferrous or non-
ferrous and are designated “1” for steel sheet and plate, “2” for castings / forgings and “3” for plastics
(see Section 6.1, Table III).

• Surface Reference Class – an appearance designation based upon customer expectation and where
the surface is visible when viewing an assembled complete machine (see Section 6.1, Table III). The
designation ranges from “A” (most visible / highest quality) to “E” (lesser visibility / lesser quality).

• Topcoat – Final layer of paint.

• Water Borne Paints – Paints where the paint resin, normally only soluble in organic solvent, is treated
with an emulsifying agent to render it dispersible in water, usually to form a stable emulsion. The paint
is applied to the component by dipping, flow-coating or sometimes spraying. After coating, the
component is dried in a baking oven to drive off the water phase from the deposited film. After drying
the paint film is then permanently insoluble in water. For environmental reasons water borne paints
are now very popular. With the exception of powder coatings, an increasing majority of paints are
now formulated to be water borne.

GLOBAL ENGINEERING

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

2.1.1 Paint Parameters

Paint is used to provide product identity, a pleasing appearance (longevity and gloss retention) and
substrate protection (UV and/or corrosion). Appearance must meet customer’s expectations.

There is a relationship between the substrate (metal, casting / forging and plastics), primer (thickness,
color) and topcoat (type / thickness / application method) that impacts the appearance quality and coating
durability. With regard to color matching of topcoats, the primer or primer-surfacer color under a given
brand topcoat must be agreed to by the maker of the top coat color as being compatible with that topcoat
color so as to obtain the final brand designated color match. The painting process for applying the
topcoat will impact color and surface appearance.

Note: Consideration must be given to the effect that paint and/or the painting process will have on
“sensitive” machine components (i.e. oil seals, rubber hoses, plastic tubes, etc.).

2.1.2 Test Panels

Suppliers of painted parts must submit six test panels [typically 100 mm by 150 mm (4 in by 6 in)] prior to
shipment of their parts. The panels, where practicable, shall be made of the component’s planned
production material, or at least be closely representative of it, and include the planned cleaning and
painting process. If their parts are castings, then the “test panels” must be thin cast pieces, typically 6.4
mm (0.25 in) thick, shot blasted and prime painted identically to the foundry production process. These
panels will be tested per the requirements set forth in this document.

For large components (wheels, cabs, frames, etc.), it is important to test the whole component to the
greatest degree possible. Alternatively, smaller painted sections may be removed for evaluation of the
painted surface if agreeable to the controlling engineering group. Areas where welding is incorporated
should be part of the section removed.

If a supplier does not have access to the planned production substrate (sheet metal, casting or plastic),
the AGCO plant location must provide. The supplier shall certify that the requirements of this document
have been met.

2.1.3 Paint System

Environmentally compliant paints (to local Clean Air Act regulations) must be used without exception.
Paint must also be used in a way that meets local Health and Safety requirements. Solvents containing
glycol ethers (e.g. Ethyl Glycol, Butyl glycol, “Cellosolves”, “Oxitols”) are forbidden in paints intended for
manual spray application. Paints shall not contain chromium, lead nor cadmium compounds.

2.1.3.1 Metal Pre-Treatment Prior to Paint

2.1.3.1.1 Cleaning
Prior to pre-treatment, parts shall be cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of primer / topcoat. Material
used shall not violate the environmental restrictions at the plant location.

2.1.3.1.2 Steel Components


Following cleaning for bright finish steel components (i.e. cold rolled or pickled and oiled), a phosphate
conversion coating must be used (see Table I below for options). Hot rolled materials (i.e. scaled
finish) shall either be acid pickled and oiled to a bright finish or shot blasted (see Table I). Component

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

surfaces must be free from any trace of metal oxides, oxidized fats / oils, carbon smuts, laser cut
edges or any other surface contaminants that would prevent the lay-down of a uniform phosphate
coating.

2.1.3.1.3 Cast Iron Components


Cast iron components should be shot blasted to an appropriate international standard (see Table I)
prior to application of a casting sealer or primer.

Shot blasting is carried out with centrifugal, open or vacuum blasting equipment. Cut steel wire, steel
plate grit, cast steel or glass shot or beads shall be used as cleaning granules. The shot must not
contain any water soluble salts or other impurities that might damage the paint. Plant conditions, which
permit flash rusting of components prior to primer paint application, are expressly forbidden.

Note: If a ferrous-based component is being prepared for paint, it should be thoroughly de-
magnetised before shot blasting if a ferrous-based shot is being used.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

2.1.3.2 Primer

Typically, a primer coat is applied prior to a primer-surfacer and / or topcoat though there may be
possible exception in the case of powder paints. The application process (paint system) employed at
an AGCO Plant or supplier of painted parts will determine the type of primer and film thickness
requirement. Refer to a specific plant’s process specification. There are many alternatives for primer
formulation but ones with a chlorinated rubber formulation must not be used.

2.1.3.3 Primer-Surfacer

This protective coating must be applied over primers that are either

a) Susceptible to deterioration from UV radiation (i.e. epoxy or butadiene based coatings including
electrophoretic primers) if there is a high risk (to be assessed by individual AGCO production plant or
component suppliers) that the topcoat minimum DFT thickness is impractical to control to prevent
transmission of UV through the top coat film or

b) The surface finish of the primer film inadequately fills component surface blemishes so as to meet
final cosmetic appearance standards after application of the top coat.

Note: Components that have been prime-painted with epoxy or polybutadiene based primers must not
be stored outside where they could be adversely affected by UV radiation.

2.1.4 Painting Designation

Painted parts must have a reference class, topcoat brand color and topcoat code identified. Two
methods are employed within the AGCO locations. Either method is acceptable as long as the required
information is specified.

• Each drawing of a production part painted as an individual component or after assembly into a
complete machine and provided for service shall have a designation on the drawing. The following
example is suggested for use but a locally selected designation can be an acceptable alternate as
long as it contains the information contained therein:

Priming / Painting
Procedure: GOP0010003
Spec and Test Procedure: GD10000101
Ref. Class: Color: Code:
A1 ** Red (M – F) CS - 34

** See Reference Class Designations in Table III, Section 6.1

• Call out paint requirements on a given machine’s paint and decal general drawing.

Components that are painted over on the assembly line or are supplied unpainted for service do not
require priming / painting designations (i.e.: galvanized pipes, cables, plated tubes, etc.).

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

Any rework required on a machine shall be done using paints with the same coating chemistry, test and
weathering performance as the original coatings. Typical situations requiring corrective painting:

• Within the original manufacturing plant


• During distribution to market
• At a dealer prior to sale
• At a dealer after sale if the machine is still under maker’s warranty

2.1.6 Service Parts

Bulk containers of liquid paint are available in differing sizes through AGCO Parts. Topcoat products
must match the reference color standard for a brand color. These paints shall meet the performance
requirements set forth in this specification and test procedure.

Note: Paint supplied in aerosol cans does not meet the requirements set forth in this document.

2.2 Design Acceptance Testing

2.2.1 Performance Tests and Appearance

2.2.1.1 Appearance

2.2.1.1.1 Visual Color Match


This technique uses a master color standard (see GOP0010003) as a basis for comparison. A trained
observer makes a comparison of the test panel and master panel using either a recognized standard
color match cabinet with known standard illuminant or, alternatively, views outside in diffused daylight.
Black colored panels can only be compared visually. A match is considered to be within one ∆E of the
master color standard. It is recommended to use this procedure as a supplement to readings from a
spectrophotometer.

2.2.1.1.2 Instrumental Color Match (ASTM D 2244 and E 308) and Gloss Requirements (ASTM D 523)
Refer to the Global Master Paint Color Control Procedure, GOP0010003 for the color and gloss
requirements for paints used by AGCO Corporation. Paint color shall be within the tolerance specified
when evaluated with a spherical optical sensor using the following parameters:

Color Coordinate System: CIELAB


Observer: 10º
Illuminant: D 65
Machine Setting: Large View Area / Specular Component Included
Instrument in Reflection Mode, Ultraviolet Component
Included

2.2.1.1.3 Overall Appearance


The finished goods paint acceptance criteria is detailed in Table III in the Attachments. Paint defects
shall be evaluated by viewing the part at a distance of 1.5 m (5 ft) under a minimum of 646 meter-
candles (60 foot-candles).

2.2.1.1.4 Orange Peel


Each plant location shall define an acceptable level of orange peel for its internal painting facility and
for its suppliers of painted components. Care is required with processes prone to excessive orange

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

peel (powder coating), or, conversely, situations where orange peel may be totally absent (paint
applied to smooth finish plastic components using compressed air spray equipment). The object is to
avoid appearance differences amongst the same colored assembled components of a complete
machine.

2.2.1.2 Mechanical Properties

Test pieces used to conduct the mechanical properties tests shall be a rigid substrate (actual parts or
paint panels of the production intended material). They shall utilize the painting process and curing
time in place at the plant location or supplier. All DFT’s for primer and topcoat are recommended to be
at the minimum except for Section 2.2.1.2.2 where the maximum is utilized. This applies to paints
where their performance is sensitive to the DFT of primer and / or topcoat. An exception to these
recommendations applies where paint type (e.g. two component catalyzed polyurethanes and epoxies)
performance is not particularly sensitive to variation in DFT of the final fully polymerized dry film of the
standard painting process at the plant or supplier.

Note: When conducting the tests outlined in this section, the laboratory testing the paint must consider
the end use of the painted part. The laboratory shall maintain records of any discretional decisions.

2.2.1.2.1 Paint Thickness (DFT) – At least three factors influencing the full system coating thickness.

1. The final color of the topcoat must be of sufficient dry film thickness to match in all respects the
brand dependent corporate color controlled by the Global Master Color Panel Control Procedure
(GOP0010003) through use of spectrophometry and color panel matching. Usually a minimum
topcoat DFT of 25 microns (1 mil) is required to achieve full obliteration of primer coats.

2. The painting process used (e.g. spray, dip, flo-coat, electrophoresis, powder).

3. The surface reference class.

Due to different painting processes being used across the AGCO sites, the plant Quality Team and
paint supplier will determine (through tests) the DFT that will meet or exceed the test requirements set
forth in this document. No paint-less points are permitted to occur.

For individual components or whole assemblies where a paint finish has been specified, the minimum
DFT shall be achieved over the entire surface area (including internal and external surfaces of sheet
metal fabrications) of the component or assembly. This is of special relevance when painting complex
assemblies (fully or partially assembled machine chassis), or a complex welded assembly (a cab,
hood or fender).

Profile tops must be topcoat painted (minimum DFT) when examined with fifteen-fold magnification
(adjust mil checker to the bare steel, then measure minimum DFT).

2.2.1.2.2 Solvent Rub - A test evaluation for assessing full paint cure
Fold cheesecloth into a pad of double thickness and fully saturate it with MEK to a dripping wet
condition. Within 10 seconds, and with a properly protected index finger at a 45º angle to the panel
surface, apply moderate pressure to the cheesecloth and perform 50 double rubs (50 back and forth
movements). At the completion, inspect the test area and cheesecloth.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

Acceptance Criteria – A class 5 resistance rating must result at the end of this test per ASTM D 4752
(no effect on the surface, no paint on the cloth after 50 double rubs).

For certain paint types (e.g. high solids two part polyurethane), where there could be a long duration
after initial bake (e.g. 24 hrs) to achieve full cross-link cure, the accepted time lapse prior to solvent
rub testing should be agreed between the AGCO plant (or AGCO sub-contractor) and their paint
supplier. A test procedure to assess full paint cure must exist at all AGCO plants and AGCO paint sub
contractors.

2.2.1.2.3 Cross-Cut Test


Make six scribes in each direction - they must penetrate to the substrate material. The distance
between scribes depends on the DFT of the paint and is as follows:

• DFT up to 51 microns (2 mils), 1 mm (0.04 in)


• DFT 51 to 127 microns (2 to 5 mils), 2 mm (0.08 in)
• DFT over 127 microns (5 mils), 3 mm (0.12 in)

Apply transparent tape over the lattice parallel to one direction of cuts. Per ISO 2409, use 25 mm (1.0
in) wide transparent tape with adhesion strength of 9 to 11 N (2 to 2.5 lbf) per 25 mm (1.0 in) width
when tested in accordance with IEC 454-2 [Permacel 99 or equivalent]. Smooth the tape over the cuts
and rub firmly with a rubber eraser on the end of a pencil. Within 5 minutes, remove the tape by
pulling the tape at a 60º angle. Compare results to the patterns provided in EN ISO 2409 and
determine the classification of the test results.

Acceptance Criteria – A classification of “0” to “1” per EN ISO 2409 (adhesion rating of 5B to 4B per
ASTM D 3359) where the edges of the cuts are completely smooth and none of the squares of the
lattice are detached.

2.2.1.2.4 Cupping
Conduct the test using uniform thickness flat metal or plastic panels ranging from 0.3 to 1.25 mm (0.01
in to 0.05 in) of uniform surface texture. Conduct three iterations of the test either by using three
individual test panels or on one long panel per ISO 1520. Indentations shall be 35mm (1.38 in) from
any edge and spaced a minimum of 70 mm (2.76 in) apart.

Using the cupping test apparatus, hold the test panel firmly until the indenter contacts the unpainted
side of the panel. Deform the painted side of the test panel into the die cavity and continue
deformation until the paint cracks or separates from the substrate. The indenter should travel at 0.1 to
0.3 mm/sec (0.004 to 0.012 in/sec).

Acceptance Criteria – Deformation must meet or exceed the agreed deformation specified for the test
panels.

2.2.1.2.5 Mar Resistance


The test shall be performed on pre-treated test panels prepared by the supplier or internal at a plant.

Finish enamels that polymerize by catalyst action or thermally induced cross-linking shall have a
minimum hardness (ASTM D4366 -95, soon to be superceded by ISO 1522) of 90 seconds Konig (180
seconds Persoz) after curing through the normal factory paint bake process window and allowing
panels to rest for 24 hours. Enamels that cure by oxidation shall be aged 7 days prior to hardness test.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

Alternatively, a Sward Rocker Hardness Test per NBR 5845 may be utilized with a requirement of 20
to 28 SHR.

Acceptance Criteria: At the individual plant level, production paints shall have agreed mar resistance
once cooled to room temperature after leaving the paint oven such that they shall be able to tolerate
handling during the assembly process without marking.

2.2.1.2.6 Pencil Hardness


Prepare a calibrated set (6B soft to 6H hard) of drawing leads (preferred) or wood pencils by obtaining
a flat lead end (90º to length of lead) free of chips and nicks. Hold the lead at 45º (pointed away from
the operator) and push the lead away from the operator for a distance of 6.4 mm (0.25 in) while
exerting sufficient uniform downward and forward pressure either to gouge or scratch the film or to
crumble the edge of the lead. Start with the hardest lead and repeat the process down the hardness
scale until a lead is found that will not cut through the film to the substrate for at least 3.2 mm (0.12 in).
Refer to ASTM D 3363.

Acceptance Criteria – AGCO requires “H” minimum pencil hardness for most locations. Hesston and
Beloit (air dry) allow “F” minimum pencil hardness.

2.2.1.2.7 Impact
Perform the test on a Q-panel, typically 100 mm X 150 mm (4 in X 6 in), or equivalent (such as an iron
phosphated test panel) per ASTM D 2794.

Place the test panel in the apparatus with the coated side up (exposed to impact). The “falling weight”
is raised within the apparatus to an initial height where cracking is not suspected to occur and
dropped. The height of the weight is increased and the test repeated until paint cracking initiates.
This test is repeated multiple times slightly above and below the “cracking height” on the same
substrate sample [not less than 40 mm (1.57 in) from another indentation and not less than 20 mm
(0.79 in) from an edge] to gain confidence in the repeatability.

If cracking is not readily visible, three methods may be used to determine if cracking has occurred -
use of a magnifier, application of acidified copper sulfate or use of a pinhole detector.

Acceptance Criteria – The painted side must withstand a minimum of 0.70 kg-m (60 lb-in) intrusion
energy [1.15 kg-m (100 lb-in) for Jackson] and the unpainted side a minimum of 0.11 kg-m (10 lb-in)
extrusion energy without developing cracks in the coating.

2.2.1.2.8 Flexibility
Perform the test on a Q-panel, typically 100 mm X 150 mm (4 in X 6 in), or equivalent (such as a zinc
or iron phosphated test panel). The painted side of the substrate is to be at the outside of the bend.
This test is not required for cast and forged substrates.

For the conical test, place a sheet of No. 1 brown kraft wrapping paper on each side of the test panel.
The paper is to be thoroughly lubricated on each side with talcum powder. Insert the sandwiched
panel into the Conical Mandrel Test Apparatus and move the control lever at uniform velocity through
approximately 135º (per ASTM D 522). With the panel still under load in the apparatus, mark the end
of the crack, if present, furthest from the small diameter end of the mandrel.

For the cylindrical test, use an 8 mm (0.31 in) diameter mandrel in either the Type 1 of Type 2 Bend
Test Apparatus (per ASTM D 1737 or ISO 1519). Insert the test panel into the apparatus between the

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

mandrel and the drawbar with the painted side toward the drawbar. Bend the panel 135º at a uniform
velocity. With the panel still under load, check the topcoat for any cracking or paint separation.

Acceptance Criteria – There shall be no cracking or separation of the paint using the cylindrical
mandrel test or in the 3 mm (0.12 in) bend zone of the conical mandrel test.

2.2.1.2.9 Chip Resistance


This test applies to Reference Class A surfaces.

Mount the test panel in the Gravel Projecting Machine. Conduct the test per one of the procedures
described in ASTM D 3170. At the test completion, remove the panel and apply / remove transparent
tape to the impingement area so that all loose and damaged paint is removed. Evaluate the chipping
results by viewing a 100 by 100 mm (4 by 4 in) square in the center of the chipped area. Count the
number of chips and determine their size. Determine a rating by using the tables provided in the
ASTM Standard.

Acceptance Criteria – The test panel shall have a rating of 5A or better.

2.2.1.3 Resistance – Substances

Primer and primer with topcoat are evaluated for their resistance to various substances that can be
encountered with agricultural equipment. These are divided into petroleum based, agricultural
chemicals, synthetic and other material categories. Refer to Table IV – Substance Exposure in the
Attachments, Section 6.3 for specific details. The substances to which the paint is exposed shall be
determined by the expected application(s) of the complete machine.

For primer only evaluations, there shall be no blistering, stripping and discoloration of the primer as a
result of the tests in Table IV.

2.2.1.4 Resistance – Temperature (applicable to Reference Class E only)

There shall be no peeling off of paint after exposure to a 450 ºC (842 ºF) environment for one (1) hour
then quenched with cold water.

2.2.2 Environmental Tests

Except for Section 2.2.2.3.3, cutting test pieces out of larger production parts is acceptable. If this is not
feasible, use production representative panels with the production intended paint process.

Test pieces used to conduct the environmental tests shall be a rigid substrate (actual parts or paint
panels of the production intended material). They shall utilize the painting process and curing time in
place at the plant location or supplier. All DFT’s for primer and topcoat are recommended to be at the
minimum except for Sections 2.2.2.1.1 and 2.2.2.1.2 where the maximum is utilized. This applies to
paints where their performance is sensitive to the DFT of primer and / or topcoat. An exception to these
recommendations applies where paint type (e.g. two component catalyzed polyurethanes and epoxies)
performance is not particularly sensitive to variation in DFT of the final fully polymerized dry film of the
standard painting process at the plant or supplier.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

2.2.2.1.1 Humidity
Install test pieces (actual parts or paint panels) in a humidity chamber described in ASTM D 2247.
Operating temperature is 38 ºC (100 ºF) with 100% relative humidity. Operate the test for 500 hours
for Reference Class A and B surfaces and 400 hours for Reference Class C and D surfaces.

At the completion of the test, remove the test pieces and examine them within 10 minutes of the test
completion. Perform a second examination after the test pieces have had 12 to 24 hours of recovery
time.

Acceptance Criteria – No rusting, blistering, loss of adhesion, chalking, dulling, softening or


embrittlement shall be tolerated.

2.2.2.1.2 Water
The test pieces are placed in a suitable container that permits complete immersion. Use distilled
water and maintain the temperature at 38 ± 2 ºC (100 ± ºF). Conduct the test per ASTM D 870 or ISO
2812-2. Test duration shall be 500 hours.

An accelerated method is to immerse the test pieces in an alkaline solution (pH 10 to 11) at a
temperature of 70 ºC (158 ºF) for 16 hours. There is not an exact equivalence in the results of this
method and the water immersion test. It should be utilized to provide an indicator of results from, but
should not substitute for, water immersion testing.

At the completion of the test, remove the test pieces and examine them within 10 minutes of the test
completion. Perform a second examination after the test pieces have had a three-hour of recovery
time.

Acceptance Criteria – No rusting, blistering, loss of adhesion, chalking, dulling, softening or


embrittlement shall be tolerated.

2.2.2.1.3 Stream Jet (power wash) on Scribed Surface


Create a scribe mark in the area that will be evaluated. The scribe must penetrate to the substrate
material.

A slightly alkalic washing liquid (pH 10 to 11) at a temperature of 70 ºC (158 ºF) shall be sprayed at
the scribe using a flat jet nozzle. Spray pressure is set at 115 bar (1668 psi) and the nozzle is held
100 mm (3.9 in) away from the test part. Spray the test part for 2 minutes and inspect the test piece at
the end of that time.

Acceptance Criteria – There shall be no loss of adhesive strength.

2.2.2.2 Corrosion Resistance

2.2.2.2.1 Neutral Salt Spray Test


Conduct the neutral salt spray (fog) test per ASTM B 117 or ISO 9227.

The test pieces are scribed prior to installing in the spray cabinet. The scribe must penetrate to the
substrate material. Test durations are shown on Table III in the Attachments, Section 6.1. Exceptions
may be granted by the controlling Product Committee for certain Reference Class C1 and C2 surfaces
(i.e. Beloit tillage implement frames – 300 hours; Mogi wheel weights – 240 hours). At test completion,

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

the test pieces are rinsed per ASTM D 1654, Procedure A (no blow-off or scraping) and the amount of
rust creep is measured in both directions from the scribe line.

Acceptance Criteria – Any single point creep from either side of the scribe line to the corrosion front
shall be no greater than 1.0 mm (0.04 in) for reference classes with the “H” suffix and 4.0 mm (0.16 in)
for all other reference classes for the salt spray exposure hours shown in Table III. Depending upon
the painting process utilized, a tighter creep dimension may be specified.

2.2.2.2.2 Acid Rain (SO2) Test


Test the samples per ASTM G 87, Method B.

Complete 24 test cycles (480 test hours) after which the samples are removed from the test cabinet
and allowed to dry in a normal indoor atmosphere.

Acceptance Criteria – There shall be no blisters or discoloration.

2.2.2.3 Weathering

2.2.2.3.1 Artificial / Accelerated


Test the samples per ASTM D 4587 or ISO 11341.

The color and gloss of the test samples is measured per Section 2.2.1.1, Appearance. Mount them in
appropriate holders that are not subject to corrosion. Install the combined samples and holder in the
test chamber. Without prior agreed exposure, expose the samples to 8 h of UV and 4 h of
condensation when using ASTM D4587 or the method 1 / cycle A of ISO 11341. Reposition the test
samples and complete an additional cycle. Minimum test time shall be 1000 h and, optionally, testing
may continue for a total of 2000 h.

Color shift and loss of gloss of the tested samples shall be measured and recorded per Section 2.2.1.1
at 500 h intervals throughout the test.

Acceptance Criteria – Permissible loss of gloss and color shift measurements are shown in Table II,
Gloss / Color Measurements. There shall be no loss of adhesion or inter-coat delamination of any of
the layers of paint in the total system. Plastic parts may not meet these criteria due to potential mold
release compounds.

2.2.2.3.2 Florida Exposure


Test the samples per ASTM D 1014.

The pieces are mounted in a suitable rack that permits tilting at a 45º-angle face up and oriented
facing south. The exposure time is 24 months (Jackson, 12 months). The test pieces are washed
once each month with a 1% detergent solution, rinsed with clear water and blotted dry. A visual
inspection is completed at each washing.

This test should be repeated in a timeframe not to exceed two years.

Acceptance Criteria – The paint shall show no checking, cracking, blistering, peeling, inter-coat
delamination or other loss of protective properties at the test completion and shall exhibit full color
retention. Resistance to chalking, fading and dulling shall not exceed 10% loss of gloss after 12
months (Jackson, 6 months) and less than 15% after 24 months (Jackson, 12 months).

2.2.2.3.3 UV Transmission / Opacity


The required equipment for this evaluation is a UV spectrometer equipped with an integrating sphere
accessory and a smooth PTFE sheet. An integrating sphere is essential as paint films are normally
loaded with pigments that would scatter light in transmission measurements. The sphere collects the
light scattered but still transmitted.

Paint films should be applied as uniformly as possible to a PTFE sheet to the desired thickness. After
full cure, the film is delaminated from the PTFE sheet. The minimum size of delaminated film is 20 X
20 mm (0.8 X 0.8 in). For brittle films where the complete film is not de-mountable, a UV transparent
substrate (i.e. silica) can be used.

Data collection should be carried out so as to optimize signal to noise for low transmission. The scan
speed will depend upon the spectrometer used. This should be lower than 15 nm/s and a response of
at least 2 seconds. Data should be collected over 250 – 400 nm.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

Acceptance Criteria – There shall be zero UV transmission (down to 280 nanometers wavelength) at
topcoat or primer-surfacer individual DFT down to 12 microns (0.0005 in).

2.3 Durability Testing

2.3.1 Endurance Tests

Separate endurance tests are not performed on painted surfaces. Refer to the tests outlined in Section
2.2, Design Acceptance Testing.

2.3.2 Reliability Demonstration Tests on Fully Assembled Machines

Conduct testing representative to what paint topcoats will be exposed to during their life so as the impact
on painted surfaces can be evaluated.

2.3.2.1 Set-Up / Test Procedure

Conduct testing representative of conditions that paint topcoats will be exposed to during their life so as
the impact on painted surfaces can be evaluated. Perform tests only if parts / complete machine are
painted by the intended serial production means. Paint color and gloss level must be evaluated prior to
the start of a test. Loss of gloss and color shift shall be measured at the end of the test and changes
cannot exceed those outlined in Table II.

There are four test options that can be utilized to evaluate painted surfaces:

Machine operation - The ultimate testing of a complete tractor or farm implement paint system occurs
when it is in the hands of the final customer. Therefore, a harsh operating environment should be
selected. For example, pressure washing occurs as part of machine operation so this should be
completed on a frequent basis even if the product or component doesn’t need to be washed. The
washing frequency should take into account the machine test program.

Pressure washing - A pressure wash test, typical of what a farmer would carry out on a fully mud-
covered machine, should be completed daily for a minimum of ten consecutive daily washes. The
wash test solution shall be an AGCO approved tractor wash detergent as retailed through AGCO
dealers for the machine under test at recommended detergent concentration and temperature, and
utilizing a commonly available brand of pressure washer.

Distribution / inventory - There are opportunities for a more pro-active approach prior to final product
retail. These opportunities are when a fully built product:

• Awaits physical distribution stored in the open air at the producer


• Is stored in “bull pens” during physical distribution to dealers
• Is stored in the open air at a dealer awaiting retail sale.

In the event that storage in any of the above situations involves significant time exposure to:

• High rainfall
• Marine environment (salt exposure)
• Industrial environment (acid rain)
• Strong sunlight (UV)

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

• High humidity

there will exist a risk of product deterioration.

Complete machines or individual parts can be monitored during the distribution cycle identified above.
In the event that a producer plant chooses to resort to use of protective coatings (e.g. removable
acrylic or wax preservatives), these coatings and their respective removal procedures shall not
compromise any performance aspect of this paint specification.

Humidity chamber – This is a closed “room” capable of maintaining different temperatures and high
humidity over an extended period of time. Its size ideally would permit testing of a whole machine or
at least a major sub-unit (complete cab, tractor chassis with wheels attached, etc.). The test would be
comprised of 21 cycles each consisting of 16 hours at 100% relative humidity and 38 ºC (100 ºF)
followed by 8 hours at 100 % relative humidity and 18 ºC (64 ºF).

2.3.2.2 Acceptance Criteria

For the machine operation scenario, paint status after test will vary by the number of operation hours
and the environment(s) where the machine was operated. For the machine distribution / inventory
scenario, it is assumed, as far as is commercially practicable, that product physical distribution routing
avoids use of storage locations with high acid rain pollution or marine environment.

In general, there shall be no:

1. Deviation in paint gloss level or shift in paint color stated in Table IV from the levels measured
prior to start of testing.
2. Evidence of red rust on any zinc-plated component regardless of duration period of physical
distribution. Modest levels of white corrosion, up to approx 10% of surface area of any individual
plated component, are acceptable for physical distribution periods exceeding 8 weeks (assuming
the absence of acid rain or marine environment).
3. Evidence of red rust on any painted area, especially crevices, recessed areas of the chassis or the
machine frame, arising from lack of paint cover or paint damage from the factory assembly
process.
4. Wrinkling, blistering, flaking or peeling of the paint.
5. Evidence of loss of paint adhesion.
6. Lifting or visual deterioration of decals.
7. Chalking, color shift or cracking of plastic components.

2.4 Engineering Approval Test Plan

Section 2.2, Design Acceptance Testing, describes required testing. Each evaluation contained therein is
independent of the others and frequently results in destruction of the test sample. The tests described
are listed in a logical order and it is presumed that they would be conducted in that order, although that is
not mandatory. Further, multiple samples are usually run through each evaluation.

SPECIFICATION AND TEST PROCEDURE

3. First Article Approval Requirements


All paint materials shall meet or exceed the requirements of this specification. The supplier shall show
supporting evidence from an ISO certified test laboratory or his own test laboratory, if it is ISO certified.

For first article approval of painted parts, the following evaluations are required:

• Appearance Evaluations per Section 2.2.1.1


• Paint Thickness per Section 2.2.1.2.1
• Cross-Cut Test per Section 2.2.1.2.3
• Neutral Salt Spray Test per Section 2.2.2.2.1 (Optional to complete this evaluation as part the initial
supplier approval process due to test length)

4. Continuing Quality Control Requirements


The paint material suppliers and suppliers of painted components must demonstrate that supplier items
have not changed in composition and ability to meet the requirements of this specification. This may
require an ongoing test evaluation or a certification from the supplier that the quality of the initial supplied
material is maintained over time. Timing for receipt of documentation will be established by an individual
plant and based upon production volumes and supplier history.

The responsible AGCO producing plant shall carry out regular audits of their product in the above situations
(refer to Section 2.3.2) across all seasonal and storage time variations resulting from the prevailing state of
market supply and demand. The period of greatest product risk is when a market downturn occurs, when
there could be a consequential build up of machine inventory in the supply pipe to dealers. The audit aim
shall be to assess the extent of deterioration of painted or plated areas of the product. In the event that
significant deterioration is detected, urgent corrective and future preventive plans must be drawn up,
implemented and later re-audited for effectiveness.
