In every part of your workday, you likely want to put your best foot forward. That includes showing up with a laptop
that looks nice and professional. The Dell™
Latitude™
5440 has a durable paint coating that can minimize paint chipping
and flaking to help you keep up appearances. In addition to cosmetic concerns, peeled and chipped paint could expose
parts and materials underneath, which could lead to corruption of functionality or data.
The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) notes that “[a]dhesion is a strongly desired quality between a
coating and a substrate, as it allows the coating to fulfill its function of protecting or decorating the substrate.”1
In
accordance with ASTM D3359-23 Test Method A, which aims “to measure adhesion and indicate results as the force
required to rupture the coating/substrate bond under prescribed conditions,”2
we cut an X to the substrate on the top
of the laptop. We then applied pressure-sensitive tape and peeled it off 90 seconds later. The result? The tape did not
pull off any paint from the cuts, and the paint retained its appearance and thickness despite the X.
