UNTREATED DIAMONDBRITE GARD X SUPAGARD
Between February 2010 and 2011 Diamondbrite was tested
against untreated metal panels and panels treated with
Supagard and Gard X. Two parameters were monitored,
specular gloss and the height of the water bead on the surface.
Each sealant was applied to six test panels, three painted
black and three painted red. The panels were sheet steel
approximately 300mm x 300mm x 1.5mm which had been
painted by a car body paint specialist. The specular gloss of a
paint fi lm can be measured using a glossmeter which consists
of a light source which directs a parallel beam of light on to a
surface under test at an angle of 60 degrees.
The height of a water bead applied to the paint surface is a guide
to the effectiveness of the paint protection.
In the water bead height test Diamondbrite held up much better
than the other products, all of which had fallen back to levels
similar to the untreated panels.
In the specular gloss test, at the end of the test period (12
months), Diamondbrite produced the best results for both the
black and the red panels. They were slightly better than
Gard X and the results for Supagard were not much better than
the untreated panels.
So these results prove once and for all that Diamondbrite IS worth
having and performs better than Gard X and Supagard.
