  • DA wet dual action
  • Scratch refinement is necessary since the surface finish after defect removal is visibly dull and markedly different from the unblemished surrounding panels of the vehicle.
  • Surface finish refinement can be achieved using wet dual action sanding with, for example a 3M 443 SA 3000 disc up to such point that the surface is ready for polishing.
  • further scratch refinement can be performed by wet sanding to further refine the surface finish of the clear coat to result in a shorter time required for the final polishing step.
  • polishing entails the use of progressively finer grit polishing liquid and foam pad combinations such that the surface finish from preceding steps is refined to the extent that it matches the appearance of the surrounding unblemished panels to complete the repair.
  • Step 1 A 150 mm-diameter Trizact 3M 260L finishing film abrasive disc containing alpha aluminum oxide, mineral size P1500, was used to sand the 50 cm x 50 cm panel area using a dual action, random orbital (rotary and vibratory) sander using a 5 mm orbit.
  • the sander was of type 28508 from 3M Company.
  • the disc was first attached to a 10 mm thickness foam interface pad prior to attaching the interface pad to the sander.
  • the 50 cm x 50 cm area panel was sanded in a dry sanding mode for a total of 60 seconds using a vacuum extraction method to extract dust from the sanded area during the sanding process. Overlapping sanding lanes were used to ensure that the whole of the panel was sanded and no defects remained. Once completed, any remnant dust was removed using a microfiber cloth prior to commencing Step 2.
  • Step 2 Scratch refinement was performed using a 150 mm diameter disc attached to a 5 mm thickness interface pad on a dual action random orbital sander. This test was performed on separate panels each using Comparative Example 2 or a disc from Example 2 to enable performance comparison. Each 50 cm x 50 cm panel was sanded in a wet sanding mode for 60 seconds by applying 3 squirts of water to the panel and 2 squirts of water to the disc, prior to sanding. Overlapping sanding lanes were used in a direction orthogonal to those used in Step 1 to ensure that the whole of each panel was sanded and the scratches from the previous step refined using the scratch refinement sanding disc.
  • Example 2 disc Almost immediately upon contact with water the abrasive coating of the Example 2 disc started to dissolve leaving a greenish slurry on the painted panel.
  • the greenish slurry traced a path following the sander as is often seen when using a liquid polishing compound.
  • Step 3 Further scratch refinement was performed using a 150 mm-diameter disc attached to a 5mm thickness interface pad on a dual action random orbital sander. This test was performed on the same panel using half of the panel for each sanding disc tested such that one half of the panel was sanded using a 3M TRIZACT 443 S A JIS 8000 grade disc and the other half of the panel was sanded using the disc from Example 3 to enable finish performance comparison. Prior to testing the panel had undergone Steps 1 and 2, above.
  • Each half of the 50 cm x 50 cm panel was sanded in a wet sanding mode for 60 seconds by applying 3 squirts of water to the panel and 2 squirts of water to the disc, prior to sanding.
  • Overlapping sanding lanes were used in a direction orthogonal to those used in Step 2 to ensure that the whole of the panel was sanded using the scratch refinement sanding disc.
  • Example 2 As was also observed for Example 2, the sanding swarf from Example 3 using GC6000 SiC abrasive had a green hue indicating the coating on the disc was dissolving and the green colored GC6000 SiC mineral was dropping out and forming a liquid paste like substance.
  • An abrasive slurry composition was prepared by combining 26.46 parts GLYCA, 0.26 parts of BYK-348 silicone surfactant wetting agent (BYK-Chemie GmbH, Wesel, Germany), 64.50 parts of abrasive mineral (WA 2500 AI2O3, Fujimi Incorporated, Aichi, Japan) and 8.78 parts of water.
  • a draw down slurry coating was produced with a wire-wound rod to give a nominal wet coating thickness of 60 microns equating approximately to the total dry coating thickness of Comparative Example D.
  • the slurry was coated onto the same foam backing material as in Comparative Example B and the coated backing was subjected to a cure regimen of 120 °C for 120 minutes so as to crosslink the adhesive and leave a dry, non-tacky surface to the coating. Once at room temperature discs of 150mm diameter were cut from the coated foam material.
  • Example 4 Unlike Example 2 where almost immediately upon contact with water the abrasive coating started to dissolve leaving a greenish slurry on the painted panel, it was found that the abrasive disc of Example 4 did not dissolve but instead the coating was observed to swell and wrinkle. When sanding, there was no greenish slurry.
