John Deere Standards are intended for use by Deere & Company, its divisions and subsidiaries. Suppliers who rely on them in
furnishing products to or for the benefit of the Company must determine that they are in possession of the latest version. Distribution
of the standards to parties other than John Deere Suppliers, whether with or without charge, are for information only and
Deere & Company disclaims all responsibility for results attributable to the application of or compliance with such standards. The
Company makes no representation, express or implied, that conformity ensures compliance with applicable law or other rules or
regulations. Further, those who are in receipt of and elect to use the standards, agree to assume the responsibility for compliance with
patents, as well as potential patent infringement.

Scope
1.1
JDV 30 describes the prerequisites of a paint process to achieve the requirements of JDM F17
performance levels and JDM F20 performance classes. JDV 30 applies only to ferrous substrates.
1.2
JDV 30 is intended to be used in conjunction with JDM F17X2 and JDM F20X2 paint process
qualification. Conformance to JDV 30 does not replace the requirement for qualification according to
JDM F17X2 or JDM F20X2.
1.3
JDV 30 does not cover prerequisites for JDM F20 Class 1 or Class 2 performance. Qualification to
JDM F20 Class 1 and Class 2 performance shall be determined by the JDM F20X2 process.
This standard can contain mandatory provisions, which are identified by the words “shall” or
“required”. Compliance with the mandatory provisions is required to claim conformance with this standard.
This standard can also contain guideline provisions, which are generally identified by the words “should” or
“recommended”. Compliance with the guideline provisions is not required, because they might not be
appropriate for all machines or all applications.
1.4
2
Terms and Definitions
For purposes of JDV 30, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
1K liquid dip
Immersion paint process often using an alkyd resin.
2.2
1K liquid spray
Paint process in which paint in liquid form is sprayed onto a substrate, and is capable of meeting JDM F20
requirements.
2.3
2K liquid spray
Paint process in which paint in liquid form is sprayed onto a substrate: consisting of a base paint (resin and
pigments), and a hardener (catalyst) which are mixed together just prior to application and is capable of
meeting JDM F17 requirements.
2.4
autodeposition (A-coat)
Immersion paint process in which chemical reactions deposit paint material on the substrate.
2.5
blast cleaned plus cleaner coater pretreatment
Combination of a cleaner coater pretreatment with a preceding blast cleaning operation in which the added
cleaning and surface texture from the blast cleaning achieves higher performance than a cleaner-phosphate
pretreatment alone.
2.6
blast cleaned pretreatment
Process which removes surface contaminants by propelling an abrasive media against the substrate.
Note 1
Blast cleaning creates a texture on the substrate that aids in mechanical adhesion of the paint. The blast
cleaning process shall be controlled to a minimum of blast cleaning grade Sa 2½ (very thorough blast cleaning)
according to ISO 8501-1.

JDV 30
2.7
cleaner-coater pretreatment
Iron phosphate or transition metal pretreatment systems that clean and apply conversion coatings in the
same stage; typically, a spray system with a minimum of three pretreatment stages.
2.8
conversion coating
Metal finishing process involving the application of a coating to a base substrate to prepare the surface for
painting.
2.9
E-coat (electro-coat)
Immersion paint process in which paint is plated onto a substrate using an electric current.
2.10
high edge paint material
Paint materials designed for improved coverage on sharp edges to reduce corrosion initiating on exposed
edges.
Note 2
Edge coverage capabilities can be evaluated through testing according to JDQ 163 and JDQ 167.
2.11
iron phosphate cleaner-coater pretreatment
Iron phosphate systems that clean and apply iron phosphate in the same stage, typically a spray system
with a minimum of three pretreatment stages.
Note 3
The iron phosphate coating mass per area for these systems is typically 220 mg/m2 to 760 mg/m2.
2.12
iron phosphate pretreatment
System which utilizes separate cleaning and conversion coating states to apply iron phosphate coating by
either a spray or immersion process; with a minimum of five pretreatment stages.
Note 4
The conversion coating stage applies an iron phosphate conversion coating with a typical coating mass per
area of 430 mg/m2 to 860 mg/m2.
2.13
manual wand wash pretreatment
Manual pretreatment processes where a power sprayer system is used to clean and apply a conversion
coating typically using modified cleaner-phosphate chemicals, but can also use ambient pretreatments.
Note 5
Due to increased variation in a manual operation, these processes should be limited to applications where
automated pretreatment is not feasible.
2.14
paint application
Process (such as liquid spray, liquid, dip, powder spray) used to apply paint to a part.
2.15
Paint Materials Engineering
Refers to the persons or departments at the enterprise or division level that are responsible for paint
materials.

2.16
paint process
Combination of all steps and parameters for painting a substrate, including pretreatment, paint resin, paint
application, and cure.
2.17
paint resin
Binder or film forming component of a paint formulation.
Note 6
Many types of resins are used in paint formulation. Most of the paints used on John Deere products can be
classified as epoxy, acrylic, urethane, or polyester.
2.18
pretreatment
Process used to prepare the surface of a part for painting.
2.19
pretreatment stages
Individual spray or immersion process steps for the purpose of cleaning and rinsing a substrate and
applying a conversion coating or a sealer to the substrate.
2.20
primer
Paint material designed specifically for adhesion and corrosion resistance properties.
2.21
substrate
Base material to be pretreated and painted.
2.22
thermoset powder
Paint process in which paint in powder form is sprayed onto a substrate.
Note 7
Thermoset powders melt and then irreversibly harden with adequate exposure to heat and time.
2.23
topcoat
Paint material designed specifically for appearance, weathering, and aesthetic properties.
2.24
transition metal pretreatment
Pretreatments which utilize separate cleaning and conversion coating stages containing little to no
phosphate in the conversion coating, and operate at close to ambient temperatures.
Note 8
The conversion coating typically applies a very light coating of a transition metal such as zirconium or
vanadium. Application of the transition metal coating can be either a spray or immersion process with a minimum of
five pretreatment stages.
2.25
zinc phosphate pretreatment
Pretreatments utilizing separate cleaning and conversion coating stages in which the conversion coating
stage applies a crystalline zinc phosphate coating with a typical coating mass per area of
1600 mg/m2 to 4300 mg/m2.
Note 9
Application of the zinc phosphate coating may be either a spray or immersion process with a minimum of
seven pretreatment stages.

Paint Process Prerequisites by Performance Requirement
4.1
Table 2 shows the JDM F17 performance levels and the JDM F20 performance classes that can be
achieved using different combinations of paint resin, paint technology, and pretreatment methods.
4.2
Paint Materials Engineering approval is required prior to the start of testing for JDM F17X2 or
JDM F20X2 qualification when one of the following conditions exist:
• Paint process is not identified according to Table 2
• Process performance level or class required exceeds the level or class defined in Table 2
4.3
Any such approval shall be documented as part of the JDM F17X2 or JDM F20X2 qualification.
4.4
To determine the applicable JDM F17 performance level or JDM F20 performance class for a
specified paint resin, paint application, and pretreatment method, refers to Table 2.
(1) Find the horizontal row for the specified combination of paint resin and paint application that most
closely matches the combination of primer and topcoat to be used.
(2) Find the vertical column for the pretreatment method and number of pretreatment stages for the
pretreatment process to be used.
(3) The table cell at the intersection of the horizontal row and vertical column identifies the JDM F17
performance level or JDM F20 performance class that can be achieved using the specified
combination of paint technology and pretreatment process.
