Material Specifications MAT0101

GENERAL PAINT REQUIREMENTS AND COLOR CONTROL

1. SCOPE
1.1 This specification identifies the color designations for paint materials, plastics and decals used on
CNH products and parts. It also covers general requirements applicable to all paint materials, finishing
processes, and finish painted parts. Those requirements apply to all CNH facilities and to suppliers
providing painted parts to CNH. Additional requirements applicable to specific colors are shown in
individual materials specifications MAT0100 through MAT0499.
1.2 Performance requirements for paint materials and finish painted parts relative to colors
designated in this specification are provided in CNH specifications MAT0103 and MAT0105.
Performance Classes are defined with specific requirements to be achieved by the combination of paint
materials and painting processes used. MAT0103 defines six performance Classes (1 to 6) while
MAT0105 defines only Classes 1, 3, and 6. Class 1 is the minimum performance level acceptable to
CNH. Class 3, 4, 5, or 6 performance levels can typically only be attained using more sophisticated paint
materials technologies and finishing processes such as certain thermal or chemical cure primers,
topcoats, or powder material systems.
1.3 CNH MAT3004 provides specific performance requirements in three performance Classes for
integrally colored plastic materials and colored parts with colors designated from this specification.
MAT3004 Class 1 is used for interior or under hood and Class 3 or 6 are for exterior applications.
1.4 This specification replaces New Holland FNHA-2-J-005.00 Color Designation and Case MS-1
Paint, General Requirements. It does not cover surface finish acceptance criteria; continue to reference
applicable sections of former CNH Company and local standards for these requirements.
1.5 This specification may involve hazardous materials, apparatus, and procedures. This
specification does not claim to address all of the safety, health, and environmental issues associated with
its use. Specification users bear responsibility for consulting appropriate safety, health, and
environmental practices, and determining the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use,
application, or subsequent removal of paint materials supplied to this specification.
2. DESIGNATIONS ON DRAWINGS
2.1 Paint performance Class, color designation, and corresponding part numbers must be specified
on the Engineering drawing. Class 1 paint performance requirements apply for finish systems and Class
1P primer performance requirements apply for primers or primed only parts where engineering drawings
do not include a specified CNH paint performance Class or for those created prior to the release of the
CNH specifications covering paint materials.
2.2 Figure 1 provides an example of how color and performance Class may be specified on the
engineering drawing. See also CNH DWGA110 for additional details related to specifying paint color and
performance Classes on drawings.

5.3 COLOR – CONTROL, SOURCES, DISTRIBUTION

5.3.1 Color Panel Control
[Link] The responsibility for CNH color panels (color masters and color standards) shall be with the
CNH Materials Engineering group. They have worldwide responsibility for the manufacture, color
matching, inventory, distribution, and tracking of CNH color panels. See Diagram 1, which illustrates the
basic steps involved in new and ongoing color control and provides contact information to request CNH
color control panels.
[Link] The color masters and color standard panels shall be of minimum size of 50 X 100 mm (2 X 4
inches). The panel can be made of steel, plastic, durable paper, or cardboard. Panels shall be large
enough to provide enough viewing area to compare the color of the color panel to an actual CNH product
to determine if there is a visual color match. These panels may also be measured with a color
spectrophotometer and be used as a standard reference. Color panels shall be stored in an enclosure to
protect the panel from abrasion or excessive exposure to light. Freezer storage -20°C (-4°F) of color
panels to prevent deterioration is recommended.
[Link] The color components of the color control panel shall be in a resin base, which minimizes the loss
of the gloss, and shall maintain the color for an extended period of time. This resin base shall be
primarily in the form of paint. A mixture of predetermined pigments shall be blended into the resin base
to create the color coating of the panel. The resin base and pigment combination shall have an aging
durability of at least 2.0 years exposure in Florida and shall meet or exceed applicable Class 3
performance requirements. Color panels shall have a life expectance of 5 years from the time of
manufacture and shall be replaced or re-certified at the time of expiration. Color panels that are re-
certified will obtain a time extension of no more than 2 years from the previous expiration date.
[Link] The color panel shall duplicate a gloss level as determined from the initial color sample. The
deviation in gloss on the color panel shall be less than ± 3%. Color panels are evaluated for acceptance
by comparison to the color electronic centroid. Color master panels shall have a Delta E of 0.200 or less
from the original color centroid. Color standard panels shall have a Delta E of 0.200 to 0.400 from the
original color centroid. Color is measured in D 65 light, 10° observer, specular UV component included,
large area of view and aperture on CIE Lab coordinates. Gloss is excluded from this reading.
5.3.2 Color Panels – Sources, Availability, and Distribution
[Link] CNH Color Panels
[Link].1 CNH color panels are developed and available for primary brand identity colors and limited
unique colors including certain metallic colors. Colors with CNH color panels are identified in Table 1
column 5 with the “CNH” code. All other colors in Table 1 are controlled with industry standard color
systems as indicated in column 5.
[Link].2 The CNH Materials Engineering group will maintain a library of CNH color panels and has sole
responsibility for the distribution of these color panels to authorized personnel upon request.
[Link].3 CNH color panels are available through the Color Engineer, CNH Materials Engineering group,
see Diagram 1. The Color Engineer is responsible to control and track the distribution of all CNH color
panels. Remote locations may be established to assist with distribution of CNH color panels.

Where “Contact Materials Engineering” is indicated for a color in Table 1 column 5, no industry color
standard or CNH color master is readily available. For these colors contact CNH Materials Engineering
for assistance.

5.3.3 CNH Color Master Process

[Link] After receiving the original color sample, the CNH Materials Engineering group shall determine
the electronic color centroid, assign a color control part number and submit a color sample to the
manufacturer of the CNH color master. The manufacturer shall measure the original color master and
develop the color formula within the criteria specified in section 5.3.1. The color shall be blended so that
the color variation shall be less than 0.20 Delta E from top to bottom or from side to side. Visible
metamerism is not permitted for a color sample when observed under CIE Illuminant light sources: D65,
daylight; A-10, incandescent; and F02-10, (CWF) cool white fluorescent. After the product has been
produced, the CNH color master standards shall be submitted to CNH Materials Engineering group for
evaluation.

[Link] CNH Materials Engineering shall evaluate the prepared CNH color master standards. If approval
is granted, the approval shall be provided in writing and a copy retained with a CNH color master for
future reference.

[Link] For the manufacture of future batches of CNH color masters it is recommended that the color
match should be in the same color quadrant as the original color master batch. Future batches shall be
within 0.20 Delta E of the original CNH color master centroid.

[Link] A label shall be affixed to the backside of the prepared color master and color standard panels
and shall contain information similar to that seen in Figure 2. All CNH color panels shall have serial
numbers for identification and record keeping.

5.4 PRODUCTION COLOR APPROVAL

5.4.1 Color verification of initial batches shall be performed on all colored parts, whether painted or
integrally colored (e.g. Plastic). For a painted part, hide shall be determined prior to having any color
check. After hide is determined, then the thickness of paint to provide hide plus 1.0 mils (0.001 inches)
shall be applied to the color test panel and both visual and spectrophotometer color shall be evaluated.

5.5 SERVICE PAINTS

5.5.1 Aftermarket and repair enamel service paints for use on CNH products or parts are required to
meet Class 1 performance requirements as a minimum.

5.6 PAINT PROCESS

5.6.1 Substrate Quality
[Link] The quality of the part surfaces prior to painting is the third element (besides paint materials and
paint processes) that determines the appearance of finish painted parts. This specification avoids unduly
limiting both CNH plants and outside suppliers regarding items such as mold and die surface conditions
or characteristics of the unpainted plastic or metal part surfaces. However, because the quality of the
part surfaces prior to painting so strongly influences finish painted part appearance, factors such as mold
or die surface finish, part surface roughness and texture, etc., will need to be specified and controlled by
the part manufacturer if finish painted parts are to meet the stated requirements. Substrates must also
remain free of visible discontinuities throughout the entire fabrication process (forming, molding etc.) to
ensure that the part, when finish painted, will conform to all applicable requirements of this specification.

NAME REV. PAGE CNH NUMBER

STD PAINT REQUIREMENTS AND COLOR CONTROL AT 10 OF 15 86628042

UNCONTROLLED COPY When Printed
 Material Specifications MAT0101

[Link] Parts shall be cleaned and coated only with paint materials that have been approved by CNH
Materials Engineering. Such paint materials are tabulated in the CNH MAT0101Q, (86628043) Approved
Paint Materials List and MAT0105Q (87021658) Approved Paint Materials for Plastic Parts.

[Link] Parts not to be coated with heat resistant paint (applications used above 250oC or 500oF) or by
autodeposition, as a guideline surface preparation for painting should include two steps: cleaning and
phosphate coating. Surface preparation for parts to be coated with heat resistant paint or by
autodeposition should require only the cleaning step; phosphate coating is typically not permitted.

5.6.2 Substrate Cleaning and Pretreatment

[Link] Parts shall be mechanically cleaned (wire brushed, ground, sand blasted, shot blasted, etc.) or
chemically cleaned (solvent wiped, alkaline cleaned, acid cleaned, etc.) Cleaning must remove rust,
scale, drawing compounds, rust preventives, weld flux, weld spatter, etc. After cleaning, all surfaces
must be kept free of dirt, dust, finger marks, oil, rust, and other contaminants. Cleaning processes
described provide surface conditions necessary for painted parts to meet specified paint performance.

[Link].1 While not expected to be present on parts following the cleaning processes described above,
any residual scale, such as weld scale or scale [e.g. metal oxides] on edges from laser, plasma, or torch
cutting, will affect parts meeting specified painted part performance requirements. Parts where final paint
quality is negatively impacted by these conditions generally require additional processing to meet
specified paint performance requirements. Use of nitrogen shielding gas to limit scale (oxide deposits)
from cutting processes, buffing or grinding edges, blasting parts, or acid pickling are processes that may
be used to reduce or remove scale to improve finish painted part performance.

[Link] Acid Cleaning, High Hardness Parts

Acid cleaning operations must be controlled to prevent hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC), particularly on
metal parts that are hardened, cold worked, and/or highly stressed in service. Acid cleaning is not
permitted for parts of this type with hardness above 39 HRC (or equivalent). Also review CNH MAT0310
Zinc Plating, Hydrogen Embrittlement / Baking guidelines for additional information related to parts that
are susceptible to HAC.

[Link] Hot rolled bar, plate, tubing, structural shapes, castings, and forgings that have been
mechanically cleaned but not painted within 2 hours shall be chemically cleaned just prior to painting.
Parts to be coated with heat resistant paint, such as mufflers, exhaust pipes, etc. must be thoroughly
deoiled prior to painting. Deoiling processing is acceptable provided the finish painted parts meet all
specified requirements for high temperature parts according to CNH MAT0141 (86630224) CNH Heat
Resistant Paint or heat resistance determined by CNH MTM0110 (86628049) Heat Resistance of Paint.

[Link] Parts to be coated by autodeposition shall be chemically cleaned and water rinsed prior to
coating.

[Link] Metal parts, except those to be coated with heat resistant paint or by autodeposition, should be
given an iron or zinc phosphate chemical conversion treatment. Minimum recommended coating weight
shall be 40 mg/ft2 (0.43 g/m2 ) for iron phosphate and 120 mg/ft2 (1.3 g/m2 ) for zinc phosphate. Sealer
application and final rinse with clean, deionized water (35 µMho/cm max conductivity) may be needed to
meet the performance requirements. Phosphate coated parts must be thoroughly dried prior to painting.

5.6.3 Finish Painted Parts

[Link] All parts should be painted prior to assembly, whenever possible. Uniform film build that meets
the recommended minimums shall be achieved on all surfaces, including edges and recesses. Parts
shall be primed and/or topcoated only with materials that have been approved by CNH Materials
Engineering. Finished parts shall be cured per the specified schedule prior to exposure to any
detrimental environment. Approved paint materials for use to finish parts are tabulated in the CNH
MAT0101Q (86628043) and MAT0105Q (87021658).
5.7 SURFACE QUALITY
5.7.1 Where required, surface finish requirements or quality for parts shall be specified on the
engineering drawing using established specifications such as FNHA-4-A-007 Surface Requirements.
Acceptance levels defined in FNHA-4-A-007 are applicable for metallic and non-metallic substrates.

5.8 REPAIR - FINISH PAINTED PARTS

5.8.1 Repaired parts must meet the finish painted part performance requirements specified and be
accomplished with no visible defects.

6. QUALITY
6.1 All paint supplied to this specification shall be formulated and manufactured using good
commercial practices and shall comply with all applicable governmental regulations.
6.2 All paint shall be non-hazardous with regard to heavy metals and comply with the CNH MAT4501
(87556298) Substance Use Restriction specification. Upon analyzing ash from a completely incinerated
sample of dried paint, the amount of each heavy metal found shall not exceed the levels defined as
hazardous in either OSHA or Resource Conservation and Recovery ACT (RCRA) regulations. All paint
shall be free of foreign matter and other hazardous materials, unless details of such other hazardous
materials are furnished in advance of initial qualification.
6.3 Pigments used shall be exterior grade conforming to CNH requirements and those designated in
individual material specifications.
6.4 All paints reduced with solvents and applied under normal manufacturing conditions shall flow
properly and build the recommended film thicknesses.

9.2 PAINT MATERIALS

9.2.1 No shipments of paint materials shall be made by a new source until samples of materials they
propose to supply to this specification have been approved by CNH Materials Engineering. When
requested, the supplier shall furnish samples for formal qualification that may include performance
testing. Material submitted for qualification shall be accompanied by detailed test information,
certification that the material meets all requirements of this specification, and a completed Materials
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Additional samples may also be required by the receiving CNH location in
advance of the first and subsequent production shipments in accordance with the provisions of CNH
Supplier Development (SD) or other CNH quality assurance programs.

9.3 FINISH PAINTED PARTS

9.3.1 No shipments of finish painted parts shall be made by a new supplier until samples of finish
painted parts (and representative painted test panels if requested,) they propose to supply to this
specification have been tested or approved by the receiving CNH Plant or their designated
representative. Finish painted parts submitted for qualification shall be accompanied by detailed test
information and certification that they meet all requirements of this specification. Additional samples may
also be required by the receiving CNH location in advance of the first and subsequent production
shipments in accordance with the provisions of CNH Supplier Development (SD) or other CNH quality
assurance programs.

10. INSPECTION AND REJECTION

Shipments of paint materials or finish painted parts against contracts or purchase orders citing this
specification shall be equivalent in every respect to samples approved by the purchaser. No changes in
formulation, processing, or place of manufacture are permitted without prior written approval from CNH
Supplier Development (SD). Test data, test samples and new supplier code identification are to be
submitted to CNH Materials Engineering group with the request for the material change. While the
purchaser may test samples from incoming shipments for quality assurance purposes, the supplier is
responsible for ensuring that shipments meet the stated requirements without depending upon the
purchaser’s inspection.

11. SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITY

11.1 All paint materials supplied to this specification shall be equivalent in all characteristics to the
material that was originally approval. Prior to making any changes to a paint material approved under
this specification, whether or not such changes affect the ability of the material to meet specified
performance requirements, the supplier shall notify CNH Materials Engineering of the proposed changes.
Test data, test samples and a new supplier identification code are typically required for the proposed
material change. The supplier shall obtain written approval from CNH Materials Engineering prior to any
production implementation of a material change. Whenever a new supplier identification code is applied
to a paint material formulation new testing and approval are required.
11.1.1 Paint material changes that do not require a new supplier identification code are limited. A
change in catalyst dilution (the same catalyst supplied at a modified ratio of catalyst to carrier in a paint
material formulation) is an example where no new identification code should be required. Paint material
changes of this type, where an exemption from assigning a new supplier identification code may be
applicable, shall be communicated to CNH Materials Engineering for review and approval prior to any
production implementation.
