Application efficiency (EN 13966-1)
The application efficiency according to EN 13966-1 refers to the efficiency and effectiveness of a coating system when applied to a specified surface in accordance with the standards of European Standard EN 13966-1. This standard specifies procedures and requirements for liquid coating systems intended for use in construction, particularly in the area of flat roofs.
The application efficiency is a measure of the ability of a coating system to fulfill the specified properties on the surface. It takes into account factors such as the even distribution of the coating, coverage and adhesion to the surface. A high application efficiency indicates that the coating system has been applied effectively and with minimal losses, resulting in a high quality and durable coating.
Compliance with the EN 13966-1 standard ensures that coating systems meet the defined performance standards and fulfill the specified requirements for flat roof applications. Application efficiency is therefore an important parameter for evaluating the quality and effectiveness of coating processes in the construction industry.
