Overview
SIST EN 10245-4:2012 is a European Standard established by CEN that specifies the requirements and testing methods for polyester-coated steel wire and wire products. It complements EN 10245-1 and covers both thermoplastic and thermosetting polyester coatings applied to steel wire. This standard ensures the quality, performance, and durability of polyester coatings, which are widely used for enhancing corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, and mechanical properties of steel wire products.
The standard addresses all aspects of polyester coatings from material composition and application methods to final product testing. It applies to coating materials before application, coatings as an integral part of finished wire, and the performance measures of coated wire products.
Key Topics
Scope & Purpose
Specifies characteristics and requirements for polyester coatings on steel wire, including thermoplastic (like PET) and thermosetting variants. Applies to both extrusion and powder coating methods.Coating Material Requirements
Coating materials must be free of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, maintaining consistent composition and physical properties batch-to-batch. Density, hardness, tensile strength, and elongation properties are defined according to international test methods.Application Methods
Polyester coatings are typically applied via extrusion for wire and powder coating for wire products. Coatings can be applied directly or after a primer.Testing and Performance Criteria
Detailed test methods cover:- Appearance: surface smoothness, uniform color, and absence of defects.
- Color and gloss: evaluation based on ISO colorimetry and gloss standards to ensure consistent aesthetic properties.
- Coating thickness: measured at multiple points using magnetic or micrometer methods.
- Elongation and adherence: tests that verify the coating’s flexibility and bonding strength.
- Durability tests: including accelerated weathering, chemical resistance (Kesternich test), and boiling water resistance to assure long-term performance.
Quality Assurance
Emphasizes ongoing inspection per the standard and cooperation between coating manufacturers and applicators to maintain standards.
Applications
SIST EN 10245-4:2012 is crucial for industries where polyester-coated steel wire and wire products are deployed, including:
Construction and Infrastructure
For reinforcing wire mesh, fencing, and fastening applications where corrosion resistance is vital.Automotive Industry
Where coated wires are used for springs, cables, and component assemblies requiring durable, weather-resistant coatings.Electrical and Telecommunications
Protective wire coatings that ensure insulation and environmental protection.Agriculture and Horticulture
Durable coated wire products used in trellises, cages, and fencing solutions.Consumer Goods and Packaging
Polyester-coated wires used in robust product packaging and various wire-form products.
This standard helps manufacturers and users ensure that polyester-coated wires meet stringent performance criteria, balancing physical properties with protective functions, critical for safety and reliability across applications.

Tests described in this section are intended to be carried out by the organic coating material manufacturer or the applicator before the coating operation. Clause 6 relates to the characteristics and testing methods for the "organic coating" when the organic coating material has been applied to and has become an integral part of the finished wire. Consequently tests are intended to be in the main carried out by the coating "applicators". Clause 7 defines the performance requirements and testing methods on the "organic coating" of the finished wire product, and where this is not possible, tests will be carried out on "coated" panels Scope 1 Scope Complementary to EN 10245-1, this European Standard specifies the characteristics and requirements for steel wire and wire products coated with polyester.
